AVALANCHE Seriously hit skier, Norway

[frozenheartsmelt15]

he was stiking out of the snow that was sorta funny but then he was probely cold i hope hes ok

[MrButball]

Dam it! I missed the 351 foot cliff to the right, because of the stupid little avalanche that got in my way. This days shot! I'm going home!

[ascents3353ers]

wow!

carpe diem

canadian rock---eeeees!

[lovesskiingpow]

Fred... I dont know how you manage to get yourself into these situation but your nine lives are running short bro!

[sonnytheowl]

as i understand avalanches are a massive pot luck, theres 2 types sluff (surface snow breaking loose) and slab (where deep slabs of bonded snow slip off the mountain!) . the ones shown are usually just sluff slides which are not as dangerous as the slab ones. sluff is still dangerous due to pushing you into rocks trees etc but if you get caught in a slab then good luck is all i can say! ive seen vids of people walking away from massive avvys but then you see deadly ones that look hardly anything

[tacospartan]

wow... so what's the real danger of getting caught in an avalanche while skiing? that you get stuck and buried? if you fall down and have to slide with the avalanche?

[commanderetardo]

@tacospartan getting buried is probably the biggest danger. everyone thinks snow is light but its more like wet concrete when you get under it. almost impossible to move. the other danger is being hit by debris in the slide itself or being run into trees or rocks as you move with the slide. what you see in this video is really more of a small slide than an actual avalanche.

[thehottigers]

"Men i helvete datt jeg utenfor den svære dingsen der altså" LOL XD

[dunose1]

holy hit lol he should be 3 meters under the snow

[jackinthebox4934]

That guys probably like hey it's alright just shake it off

[MelodyLuJess]

shut the hell up everyone, you can't judge what the best culture is because you have not FULLY experienced all of them. It's not up to you guys to decide it, everyone has their own opinion. Seriously wtf do you think you are? Don't play God.

[chris91wd]

ganske høyt det der ja, når man ikke har kontroll.

[EinKerl]

lucky guy

[sf200425997]

So yeah. Screw the subtitles. Learn the languages and quit whining.

[RnBramwell]

@sf200425997

Having trouble figuring out how to respond are you.  Ask why Europeans, Orientals, Africans, Filipinos, Koreans, etc. etc, struggle to find their way to N. America. Ask why it is the English & then the Americans -until ~1950- when their politicians got really serious about violating their own Constitution. Ask why -until that date- America did more with the same resources than any other nation in history. BTW, I am not American, but I do my homework. So should you.

[RnBramwell]

@sf200425997

On YouTube, everyone is a troll. I am sick of people who think being English, White, Western, and yes Capitalist, is a bad thing. Cultures are not Races. Race has nothing to do with life goals and ideas, but Culture does. Western Culture, beginning with the Greeks, moving to the Romans, the Italians (in Galileo's time) and progressing in the UK in Newton's time and culminating in the American Constitution, is THE BEST culture. Your race is irrelevant, only your mind matters.

[RnBramwell]

@RnBramwell Furthermore, only America in the late 18th & 19th C. protected its citizens life liberty & property from other citizens who might abrogate those Rights. Freedom means freedom from other men, period. The tyranny of the majority, aka democracy, was NOT the American way. Socialist-minded politicians harped that USA is a democracy, to gain political power by votes... by majority tyranny. Now America is a political MESS. As Ben Franklin said, "It's a Republic, if you can keep it."

[sf200425997]

@RnBramwell Oh yes. I've forgotten thta your point was that what you believe in justifies that all videos should be either recorded in English or have subtitles, so that you, lazy bastards can... remain lazy and have everything handed to you on a plate.

Please excuse my ignorance when I courteuously extend my middle finger for you.

[RnBramwell]

@sf200425997

Sometimes being insulted by idiots amounts to a compliment. You have been too shallow to get my point. Though I have nothing against other languages, English stands above all others, not because it is so widespread, but because it enables enormously more detailed and accurate communication than other languages. Of course, that acclamation applies to those who have a sufficient grasp of English.

[RnBramwell]

@sf200425997

Your ignorance, and middle finger, are inexcusable. Both only confirm my point.

[ToxiicKiwi]

@RnBramwell

yes... yes... i agree... :o

[LynXLuvBCompleX]

@RnBramwell Well, about those resources... They exhausted their lands (and other people's lands) of pretty much everything, and polluted it like if there was no tomorrow in the "doing more" part... And I really don't see how that is a good thing. I'm actually quite ashamed of it... And you should be too, unless you are one of those egotistic persons that truly don't care about the next generations, or even the planet as a whole, as long as you are dead when it first realy go to hell with it.

[RnBramwell]

@LynXLuvBCompleX

Unfortunately you arn't familiar with Julian Simon's exhaustive study of resource availability. He demonstrates that resources are so abundant that they increase! & shift over time, as humanity learns how to discover and use them. As with Parkour, it is all about human creativity!

Pollution is only a problem where property rights are ignored, for the sake of Common Property.

It is BECAUSE I care about next generations, that I insist that free use of resources be encouraged.

[RnBramwell]

Hey guys, put up English subtitles. The English world is your bigger audience.

[sf200425997]

@RnBramwell lol, the English World ;) The English world should spend more time learning other languages, instead of bitching ;-)

[RnBramwell]

@sf200425997

Hey, English has the largest Lexicon, best culture & greatest longevity Go English or die early.

[sf200425997]

@RnBramwell You must be really living under a rock..

Regarding your comment about best culture - I'll try to remember that when I see hundreds drunk idiots on the streets pissing wherever they feel like. And the stag&hen party trips to Eastern Europe, when they get even more drunk and are a royal pain in the ass for fellow travellers.

Largest lexicon? Ahh ok - that's probably why most of people use TXT SPK.

Well.. a hippo can probably take the biggest dump. Biggest, but still made of shit.

[RnBramwell]

@sf200425997

Your exceptions are not culturally dominant, and they are NOT about the English language. Perhaps YOU should learn that words have exact meanings.

TXT SPK, when used by those who do not know better, only reflects the *decline* of the language skills of a small segment of the population, NOT the value of proper English!

[zzxcrozzy]

eg og e norsk:D

[thegamer1325]

he is the same guy who accidently went over the cliff!

[ldog454]

lucky

[ag4yo]

Skiing crash dummy

[liltreytrey]

[Yukontroy]

[lincolnVS]

il a déclencher l'avalanche avant de rentré dedans.

Voilà pourquoi il est important de skier vite...

[alexisthefreeskier]

Before !!!!!

[mrpolson]

This one was before his 107 meters jump or after?

[skitheloaf185]

isnt this the same guy who accidently went over a monster cliff and then was giving the record? I would not want to ski with him.. hes to much of a hazard.

[RangledeFreak]

yep, same guy!

[olavnvbk]

@skitheloaf185 Yes, this year he falled down three big clifs! chech it out from the teaser of epic moments ;)

[lovesskiingpow]

@skitheloaf185 Hahahaha thats a knee slapper lol!

[mikeehokkaido21]

i was just watching him ski tottally chill ,then he triped i was like wtf!

[toadmann7]

he was trying to stop cuz he sa the avalanche coming

[awomansmind]

between this avalanche and his crazy 351 accidental cliff drop you wouldn't catch me anywhere near this guy in the backcountry...

[konijnenlaan27]

he is so lucky !

[fullapekatt]

"men i hælvette! datt jeg ned hele den dingsen der?!" hahahahah

"what the hell! did i fall down from that thing?"

[emericanchaos]

[theforgottenon3]

[EirikWerner]

Skummelt ass..

[GilbertsonDerick]

The poor guy was talking at the end.....completely unaware that his guts had been spilled out on the mountainside.

[sprengmeister0815]

you were sooo lucky man!!

[SwAnToN22bOmB]

wow

[xRaGxproductionsx]

supposidly marker is working on 2010 bindings that are supposed to be super responsive in the avalance situation. they stay firm on very loose (avalanche) powder and release under a certain pressure is put on them (buried by snow)

[hagetun]

I live in Stryn :)

[bearnuggets]

Lotsa balls, the kind that are remembered not seen.

[boatsandhoes8]

Wow, that would fucking suuuuck!

[lars307]

Der var du heldig Vegard!

[kyashred]

I skied twice with Vegard Lund, from Norway, in the Wasatch backcountry in 2005. He was strong and confident. He was killed in an avalanche last November. Be careful, my young friends. It usually doesn't turn out like in the videos. Yaspar Kyashred

[Kenzofeis]

And this here was just a tiny avalanche too.

Very tiny even, but if you're alone and get stuck (skis won't exactly help getting out of it) or u get into a heavy avalanche and are buried under 2-3m snow u're fucked bad...

But some are lucky :)

[biggyjurss12]

I heard its a one in five chance of survival with the while avalanche rescue team there watching it

[middie1276]

Most people don't die from burials, most people die from trauma.  Doesn't matter how big or small an avalanche is. If you look here he almost nails a tree.

[Kenzofeis]

Not sure if I agree, but it depends on various thing like, did u hit any rocks or trees, what sort snow is it, is there ice in it, stones, are u alone etc..

If you get caught under a lot of snow you can suffocate it it is the wet dense type that packs, eventually u would freeze or starve to death if noone digs u out..

Sometimes, like a lucky grouse hunter, he got pressed against a tree under all the snow and was stuck, but he managed to work his arms free and ate raw grouse until found..

[uffe91]

About that grouse hunter, that can't be true!? Where did u get that info from?

[Ginder94]

hadde du med deg skredsøker?

[criticaltom]

lucky Fred

[steeze111]

no biggie for this guy...he hucks 351 foot cliffs in his spare time.

[Jononutoob]

i bet that was cold.

[gr8jox]

25- i guess

[segles]

Just read a place that this guy survived a 104 meter free fall.

[abuseboards]

yeah, that was sick! but it wasn't by purpose.

[justgonnastay]

Can you imagine? I would poop myself if I went off 25 feet accidentally. Crazy.

[KuriMoore]

It didnt seem to shake him up at all! Brilliant!

Different breed up north!

[ElectroD4NCE]
