IT WAS A busy weekend on Croagh Patrick for Reek Sunday.

Viewers watching coverage on the Six One news last night might have gotten brief nostalgia for our beloved man on ice. The iconic news moment confirmed our love for people innocently falling on their hole.

Well, strap in. A NEW man was spotted almost slipping off a particularly damp rock during some footage of people descending the Mayo mountain.

@DermotTodayFM @DaveTodayFM lads how is this absolute legend slipping on Croagh Patrick from last night's @rtenews not a viral sensation? pic.twitter.com/MmlrCKySgD

He didn’t quite take the fall, and even gave us a little smirk after the slip to confirm his delight that he won’t be memed until the cows come home.

Well, sorry man, you’re a legend on Twitter already.
