[@souhung69]

My grandfather was a mountaineering, climbing and ski-tourguide in the alps for decades. in the mid 60s somewhere in the mont blanc area he fell (or rather slipped) down a crevasse about 30 meters (about 100 feet) deep, but virtually unharmed except for some bruises and an overstreched tendon. He found himself in an actual fucking ice cave and his first thought was "damn I need to explore this place" but his flashlight stopped working after about 5 minutes. So he decided to smoke a cigarette and wait for his partners to drop down a rope. They did that and started pulling him out. After about 10 meters, the damn rope broke! So he was back in the hole, this time with a fractured knee. Two of his partners went to get help, and an other guy dropped down some clothes and a blanket so he wont freeze. All in all he was down there for about 4-5 hours before a team of about 20 people managed to get him out. Luckily it happened in the morning so they had plenty of daylight. About 2 hours after they left, carrying him on an emergency sled, a massive avalanche went down exactly where it all happened. He still loves to tell this story to this day (he's almost 90 yrs old now). This ordeal never stopped him. He always thought of it as a fascinating experience and I admire him for that

[@TheDragiix3]

Grew up in the alps, this is quite interesting to watch because they are clearly very experienced skiers. He saw the crevise running through the snow and stopped to inspect it at 2:02, what pushed him in was the pressure from the snow on top. This is a common issue with deep snow skiing, however his friend also majorly fucked him over by pushing so much loose snow on him in 2:15. This is why generally speaking you are trained to not attempt and stop on top of another person. The weight of the loose snow in conditions like these can push the person below away and in a situation like this, that can be fatal.

Dudes friend was really thick skulled through this whole thing actually but likely wasn't processing the situation completely.

Some lessons to be learned here. 1: That wasn’t just a crevasse, that was a bergschrund. A bergschrund is the top of a glacier where it breaks away from the mountain. You can tell by how the crack traverses the entire slope. That means they were skiing down onto a glacier which means after passing that crack, you would be susceptible to passing more crevasses possibly hidden by snow bridges. Very dangerous. 2: never ski and stop above another skier in high angle backcountry terrain. You could fall and take out the skier below you or trigger and avalanche on top of them. 3: if you know you are traveling on a glacier, always be wearing a harness and have at least 1 ice screw with you. First thing you need to do if you fall into a crevasse is to place the ice screw and clip in so that you don’t fall deeper into the crevasse. 4: this is obviously in Europe which has the largest and most well-established alpine rescue network in the world. They get many calls on the daily to save people in mountainous terrain. So if you are ever in the mountains in Europe and you see a rescue helicopter hovering near you, they are looking for people who called in for an emergency and they are checking on you. There are 2 hand motions you need to know. If you did not call for help, extend your arms in a diagonal direction(one arm angled up and other arm angled down) this lets the rescue team know that you are okay and they can continue their search for whoever did call. This saves precious time that could be the difference between life and death for whoever calls. If you are the one who called, hold you arms up in a “V” or “Y” like the skier did in this video. This lets the rescue team know that you are the ones who called and need help.

My uncle was a pilot in the 4-corners area with these rescue helicopters.

This man in the video is incredibly lucky. My uncle loved backcountry, and occasionally got free lifts from other helicopter pilots when they had a free space on the pay-per-seat charters.

thats why the language system in schools is so bad. They teach you random vocabulary simply for a test and the dont actually teach you how to speak and interpret the language (for the first 3-4 years anyway, later at the very end of your learning the will teach you speaking skills) and learning at home is much faster (i say this assuming you are learning french at school

Wow! That guy is lucky to be alive. 😳I was stunned after seeing the large crevasses when the chopper pulled the injured man up off the mountain. I recon if these guys only had a drone to scout the side of the mountain first before skiing down it could have prevented this accident, which could have been much worse for all the skiers. I was also surprised that none of these guys had ropes on their person while skiing down such a dangerous mountain. At times, it required ice climbing in certain areas.

[@q22282]

A few points to consider here: 1) Unless you are certain of the snow conditions, don't have someone skiing above another person as they did. The risk of sending an avalanche or a considerable amount of sliding snow onto the person below is too high in most cases for terrain like this. 2) The friend appeared to approach the edge of the crevasse displaying not nearly enough caution. He should have instead placed a snow stake and secured himself to it, and waited for the others with the rope to arrive. 3) What the friend tried to do by holding the basket of the ski pole and lowering the handle down to him is certainly not the way to go about rescuing him. 4) You can clearly see at 2:12 that there is obvious disturbance in the snow, which is likely the presence of a crevasse, also given the larger openings off to the side. Much more caution should have been displayed at this point, even aside from the friend's lack of control on his skis at this moment. Overall, this could have been avoided with higher levels of vigilance, but it is good that in the end he was able to be rescued without more serious consequences.
