Gnarly footage out of France where a skier with a head-mounted 360° GoPro camera filmed a human triggered avalanche charging and overtaking him without knowing it was coming. Thankfully he deployed his airbag and he survived:
“Here is the avalanche that happened to me with an impressive speed without my seeing it. It was in March 2020 in France. It was a mix between a windstorm that lifted me and a huge ocean wave that shook me all over the place. I was very scared, the reflex of pulling on the handle of my airbag saved my life. This avalanche was triggered by a person at the top of the mountain who did not wait for me to finish my off-piste descent and who did not come to my rescue by following. It is an experience that I will never forget.”
