In a scenario that is very similar to bears that get into cars and then destroy the car trying to find a way out, speculation is that the ram saw his reflection in a ground story window, butted it, and fell through.

Rockfall Mitigation Work to Begin Tuesday in Glenwood Canyon
News Link
The work will continue throughout the summer and closures of 45 minutes to 5.5 hours will happen between 9AM and 2:30 PM Tuesdays through Thursday.
This work is presented as CDOT's permanent solution for Mile 125 after the February rockfall closed I-70 for a week. It will consist of 4 rockfall fences installed in difficult terrain. Apparently (and thankfully) the evaluation of a rock shed was rejected as too expensive. There have been rockfall incidents in the past where rocks falling from near the top of the cliff had enough energy to bounce over the top of rockfall fences. No details of the design or height of the fences are provided in this article.
