I bet you have...I'm a geologist, I have witnessed loads of rock falls.
Some of which I initiated!
When I lived in CA, CA had plenty of rock slides, especially on highway 101 and around San Francisco. A major road was closed for a long time.During the Nelson County, Virginia flood of '69 (Hurricane Camille) a boulder twice that size slid off the mountain and ended-up in the James River....It was carried for miles.
I had a co-worker who lost his entire family in a landslide then.
