We reconsider neutrino decay as an explanation for atmospheric neutrino observations. We show that if the mass-difference relevant to the two mixed states \nu_\mu and \nu_\tau is very small (< 10^{-4} eV^2), then a very good fit to the observations can be obtained with decay of a component of \nu_\mu to a sterile neutrino and a Majoron. We discuss how the K2K and MINOS long-baseline experiments can distinguish the decay and oscillation scenarios.
