Yeah, Skiing may be safer, but think about it, you're statistically more likely to be having sex with Tila Tequila.

Wow! That would be pretty scary! What amazing footage!

Makes me want to go skiing again XD

Wow the really sucks so hard. That must of hurt so bad. :/

WOW! he was whoo hoo'ing. lmfao

omg one of the best videos ever!

That's effin crazy

This is my biggest fear, being buried alive! I think I was having a panic attack just watching it.

same here suffocating and struggling for air..it would suck

oh wow i guess being first is always a bad thing

dude i almost cried while watching that, seriously intense

DUDE! YES! That would be such an amazing experience!

That is one lucky guy. You can hear him trying to make noise...so scary =\

Now he knows what sleeping with a fat chick would feel like.

Wow that's crazy

Holy Sh*t! That dude has never been so happy to be alive!!

that must of been scary

Jesus Christ
Was he crying?
I probably would have shit bricks.
Another reason why i will never go skiing again.

OMG he survived and he staid under for more then 4 minutes! it's amazing how his friends remained calm

Well, thanks! a new fear i have!

Yeah, same. I never thought how horrible it would really be, but when I watched this my heart was pounding.

wow

WELLLSSSS..... that could ruin a day :/

wow... rly wow....

dude that guys shovel totally broke!

wow! good thing that these guys came PREPARED! lol That is one hell of a video. (too bad the sound quality wasn't better)

I would have freaked out, this guy remained pretty calm, and his friends are awesome, found him really fast. I'm so happy he made it out.

I've had a snow cave collapse on me once. I was only buried for about 30 seconds (not much snow really). I can still barely imagine what this guy went through. He's one lucky guy.

Tell us more about your life, please!

ya man you sed it wustnt as bad as wut happned to this guy but still

your a dick

So what ur saying is u were interested in that deuces life. Why don't u go get a room hes right u fag.

damn you could hear him crying but can you really blame him? he was slowly dying but his friends saved his life and that would be crazy to beat death

no i could not blame him lol i like whin he started to do a little dance with his hands hehe i would be doing the same thing :D

That's amazing. That guy is seriously lucky. The sky looks so amazing, too :)

hee probably kicked his skiis off in a fit of joy
(dane cook) :P

avalanche beacons and arc'teryx jackets ftw!

Wow, I feel for that guy. I can't imagine what he went through, buried in the snow for 6 minutes. Kudos!

I might be wrong but that looks like part of Revelstoke Ski hill in B.C.

i wanna know what the fuck that dude is saying at the end xD

Pure joy in that guys voice at the end.

"WOOO! WOOO! WOOOHOO!"

Holy crap I started hyperventilating watching that...

Though yeah I really do want to know what he was saying towards the end lol

yep, I had feelings of claustrophobia just watching it.

I couldn't even watch the whole vidio I was so afraid what was going to happen to him

love how I can make out some of his noises as a celebratory "wooo" when he shakes his hands around. You can just tell how relieved he is when he does that.

I would shit a brick. Holy fuck.

i'm curious to know how they knew where he was burried

Incredible, those guys deserve an award, that guy would have been dead probably shortly if those guys didn't rush there that fast.

Amazing.

How long was he under?
How long do people die in avalanches?

i think its like 15 minutes when they start to show the major signs of hypothermia.

dude my friends boot is makeing him pay 5 dollars for every ten he sopends?

dude my friends boot is makeing him pay 5 dollars for every ten he sopends?dude my friends boot is makeing him pay 5 dollars for every ten he sopends?

that made my day to see someone escape death and have an experience like that.

it was hard to grasp that that was really a real video of some guy who just about lost his life but once he was crying in joy at seeing his friends and when they uncover the camera and the sky looks like that right in his face it was like "HOLY CRAP"

Did anybody else besides me get claustrophobic anxiety from that vid?

I got claustrophobic and started hyperventilating a bit...that dude is really lucky to be alive.

i sure did

Yes!!!! I did!

Sure did. Claustrophobic at the end, acrophobic at the start.

I'd rather board than skee :/ that way if an avalanche comes down i won't risk tripping and snapping my leg.

ive skiied in avalanche zones before, tho never been caught in a 'bad' one. but your supposed to basically point your skis straight down, if he had he would'nt have been caught, if you ever have that happen to you dont try to stop, because otherwise you fall with the snow.

wow when he comes out he sounds like hes choaking down and giant dick or he is a frozen Michale Jackson HEEEEheeOOoOuuWOOOoo

the snowflake was just a sign of Chuck Norris FARTING!

that shit was deep, you can hear how long it took to dig down to him.. sheeit.

Oh my god!!! I had to fast forward the video when he was under the snow. That must have been so horrible! This is why I lived in Utah most my life and never took up skiing or boarding.
Why are people calling this guy a douche for getting stuck in an avalanche? Seriously, guys?

The guy getting buried is Chris Cardello.


Chris described it like this: “When the slide propagated, I tried to remain as composed as possible and make sure my AvaLung was in. As I was getting buried and the slide slowed, I threw one hand up and with my other hand I grasped the AvaLung, which had been ripped out of my mouth during the turbulent ride. While I was buried, I tried to be as calm as possible—I knew my hand was exposed so my crew would be digging me out shortly. I was able to breathe through the AvaLung, but it was difficult due to the snow jammed down my throat.”

Wow just wow, this dude, is badass. If i was in his position, i prolly would have died.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. He I bet he fucking loves life after that!

Wow.
Could be an awesome new sport.

wtf are you talking about, bc skiing could be a new sport? it is a sport already homo

There is already a sport douche...it is called skiing

He was referring to gettin stuck in an avalanche as a sport. douche boy.

i love skiing

Is this on youtube? cant find it.. this guy is absolutely amazing! i did'nt even realize what was happening when i saw it on phil's video, but when i saw this i litterally put my hands up in front of my mouth and just whispered like oh my god.

Omg when they dug him out and he tried to like scream with hapiness i just started to cry.

CRy? i was like YAYA they found him. (After i fast forwarded it pass the rescue part :P) glad he made it

in a fit of panic i would of been screaming my head off HELP HELP HELP. top marks for the people who found him and for him for not losing is carm

That is pretty amazing footage start to finish. Its great that the people top-side located and assisted so quickly, you never know what kind of damage occurs during a fall such as that, even if his hand was sticking out his spine may have been also, time is critical. I must say, from the limited perspective provided, it looked like a bad situation to put yourself into and maybe was not the best execution. I realize its easy to say from the sidelines, on the internet, but is sounded pretty slabby from the video, like there was a nice dense layer on top. Further, as first rider, he would have benefited from cutting the area first and assessing what happens. Perhaps they dug a pit and things looked stable but from the propagation and pursuant landslide, it looked pretty sketchy- worst nightmare. It is a credit to quick friends who maintain there cool and get there buddies out quickly and its really balls that dude maintain his breathing and patience- i probably would have hyperventilated. Also makes you consider the avalung, looks like his quick thinking and preparation helped keep air in his lungs...

AND that's why I don't ski

id still take my chances with tila
