Atz Lee Kilcher, almost died after the edge of a cliff took him by surprise while hiking at an Alaskan resort, and he's blaming the resort for the fall.
Kilcher, who stars on the Discovery show "Alaska: The Last Frontier," filed a lawsuit saying he was "seriously injured" in 2015 while on a hike at the Otter Cove Resort in Homer, AK.
Kilcher says he "fell over the edge down a cliff," and got so banged up he needed a "lifesaving Medevac" to the hospital.
His injuries were extensive; fractured left shoulder, two collapsed lungs, right hip, ankle fractures, multiple rib fractures, and a right scapular fracture.
According to the documents, Kilcher claims there is an "inadequate guarded and/or warned of sudden precipitous edge of the land/drop. It is deceptive and dangerous."
He also says the resort "failed to adequately warn of and/or provide measures to prevent guest and other individuals ... from falling over the precipice at the resort."
Kilcher is looking to collect at least $100,000 in damages.
BTW, Atz Lee is also the brother to singer Jewel. She's originally from Alaska, and even recently returned to appear on the show with her family.
