Helmet cam footage of a guy getting pulled under an avalanche and being rescued.

Pretty stunning really.

Yikes. I used to go skiing in out-of-bounds all the time, back when I could afford going skiing ^^ This one time in the French alps there was fresh powder overnight and we had the awesomest run, but the next day after the sun had shone non-stop during the daytime a couple of New Zealanders got buried and died, pretty much right where we were skiing the day before.. brr.

(Avalanche happened in that whole area below the cliff-side that lift-line is going up)

Nice find knails! Interesting vid. Damned lucky!
Close brush with death there mountie. Crazy! Reminds me of a party I went to a few years back near the cliffs of moher. After leaving the party about 6-7am we parked at the seashore lookin at the cliffs for a bit

. But a couple of hours later 2 people drove right off the cliffs we were lookin at

We wondered was it some dodgy fiend who'd had a bit much from the party but rang the people who hosted and thankfully twas no-one we knew. Crazy shit!
