If you get a air-pocket that big you should consider yourself the luckiest man alive.

Why did they show the same segment twice?

[hst]

''you may see a avalanche coming, but you'll never out run it!''... related videos - man does back flip while out running avalanche. ok then

[PoshRaven]

Yeeeea, just remember when you get hit by an avalanche which by the way can reach up to 300 km/h and you're thrown around like a ragdoll, be sure to create a perfect igloo to lay in as you're being crushed by snow.

[holkemann]

Oh, so that's how I survive an avalanche.... Throw some bombs and don't suffocate

[Blueknight]

I already know how to protect and avoid an avalanche. Don't ever go where they happen.

Just imagining being trapped under thick snow with no air is the most terrifying death. 😢💔 those poor people

[Grimosaur]

Just bring emergency oxygen and some netflix and you're all set.

[tylernelson]

Total bullshit, you have tons of force surrounding your body from all angles, not a spacious igloo to be "trapped under".

[elliealice]

The second half of the video was my favourite

[boopydoopy]

After cupping your head for oxygen spit so see which way up you are if you're upside down it goes up your nose if you are the right way up then it dribbles down your chin

[Keihan]

Imagine you fly to a tree trunk, you are toasted 🤣🤣🤭🙊 so cool!
