Behind Ian McIntosh's 1,600 Foot Crash - Behind the Line S8 E4

[@rogerbarlow7552]

normal skiing is fun also...

[@harrisonpringle]

Roger Barlow yes I agree

[@vifcole]

Part of me is like "Maybe I'll be able to ski like that someday," and the other part of me is like "nah u stupid u gon' kill urself."

[@lxwvandenberg]

Even if you are capable of skiing like this youre saying that...

[@FranFerioli]

If the name of the game is to ski ever steeper lines, you will eventually fall. Everybody has to find his own personal balance with risk, but don't expect a medal if you get it wrong.

[@eyesyc]

You've just been reported.

[@iceflower7004]

why do these clips never show the most crucial part you have the gopro footage from the guy when he was fine and during the fall. WHY IS THERE NO CLIP OF THE START OF THE FALL face palm* its like if you have a video of a birthday, they have the clip from right before the kid blows the candles out, then they cut everyone cheering without the actual blowing out of the candles.

[@tjrides2s753]

Iceflower 700 it’s because this isn’t the original video of the fall.

[@calechips7466]

or it's like a clip in porn where you have a bunch of dudes going at it and then right before they finish you cut to black and say "don't worry 12 hours later they came all over each other".

[@petersrightbut8297]

He had to ski it to see it was a vertical wall?

[@devinmurphy6575]

If the snow was more solid the way it looked he would have been able to skii it. But the snow was thin/loose and there was nothing to skii on so he just fell.

[@RyRyWags]

I can now honestly say, I ski just like that guy!

[@ronl7131]

My late Dad, WWII Vet (Kwajalein), worked as Pressman (Printer). His guilty pleasure was golfing and he enjoyed watching pros on TV in big tournaments....when they shanked a shot or missed a putt, my brothers and sisters would crack up as he said “Hey, I can do that!” I miss my Dad....but as I participate in sports with my athlete daughters, I keep this saying in mind..😀

[@lindahoff7391]

That was an old avalanche fracture line ,not a crevasse.

No, it was a solar eclipse. If you can see the moon, it's not exactly a lunar eclipse now is it?

uuuummm no. you can see the moon during a lunar eclipse, it just looks red.

[@PleasestopcallingmeDoctorImath]

to all uninformed queefs in here, do 30 seconds of research the next time you arent sure about something. you may actually learn a few things.

[@Gs112780]

How did you get your ski???

[@ketchup5601]

A question I often ask myself is are they trying to get the skis back or will they stay there forever?

[@TacoBellCrew]

Would it be best to curl up in a ball to prevent limbs from breaking but this is sped you up or is it better to stat loose?

[@connorcarlin6056]

TacoBellCrew the force throws your body open into a snow angel its hard to ball up when your flipping uncontrollably

[@FromePublishing]

did you get your skis back ?

[@rommellarry7192]

That's one way to get down I guess

[@lllill]

First time I have laughed out loud in a while watching a video. I was in stitches by second 00:09. Anyone else?

[@1961casey]

How many hours of daylight did you have available for actual skiing?

[@tedmen1123]

I thought he was gonna say "spark up a bowl". hahaha

[@rosscobosco]

I'm no expert but is that slope not an avalanche waiting to happen?

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Not always. In most cases a pitch that is less steep (between 32-38 degrees) will hold all the snow that falls on it which leads to very unstable snow pack where a steeper pitch like this (45-50 degrees) won't hold all the snow. Also temperature plays a large role, sudden raising and lowering will create weaker layers in the snowpack. For example a ski resort in Colorado might have varied temperatures over the course of a season where a ski hill in Alaska will remain fairly consistent.

What's the best advice for someone in that situation? Should you try to stay fairly limp and bendy?

[@killorkubed]

I feel like I'm probably a rare person who can say I've done close to this, I've done this type of thing a few times but the worst time I bailed off a snowmobile and rolled 600~ foot down the side of a mountain (In a close race with the sled, it passed me, I passed it) first things first is to protect your head, I was wearing a full helmet, but still I tucked it in and got my hands up and around it, next is that you you want to barrel roll and not cart wheel, so you don't want any limbs extended, get your knees up on your chest and your elbows in.... Basically a fetal position. I wouldn't call it fun, and I'm always thinking about an avalanche coming down, the weirdest thing is that it happens in slow motion, at least the couple times I've done it
