Is this where it happened?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spDxPOL6Of8

I was looking for that video

 

[Mike270412]

I found it.

I'm guessing there a lot more rock exposed this time of year there, then this spring time video shows.

I wasn't going to post these pics but since the cat is out of the bag.

The first one should be a good one for kyle to frame and put on his wall lol. I wish him a speedy recovery!



A BIG thanks to Curtis for taking over the situation and handling it very professionally, and to the high angle rescue crew who preformed flawlessly.

Be careful out there folks.

 

[Dannyturbo]

Very lucky to go over where he did..

 

[skegpro]

He's in edmonton hospital now waiting for surgery , looks like just a broken femur

Lol
Just the biggest bone in your body!
Walk it off Kyle

 

[bj_lucky]

Wow! For sure lucky! Cool pics to show for it. Wishes for a speedy recovery.

I wondered what was over that edge. Sure hope he pulls through quickly.

Is that the place where Kyle went over or an example of what happened.

Looks like it but there is way more snow in that video this is the one he went up to the left and over to the right

 

[CUSO]

I would guess it is about 20 feet from the actual incident..

Er.. Maybe 40,, don't matter. it was close enough to make the call either way in the situation.

Just woke up in recovery, just wanted to let everyone know I'm ok. They put a rod thru my femur and plates. Thanks to Curtis and the high rescue team, I didn't think I was gonna make it off that mountain. Will definitely be taking ast1 before I return to sledding. Again, thanks to all that helped save my life!

 

[CHRISTOPH]

Glad to hear your ok! Get well soon man

Glad to hear you are ok Kyle, get well soon

Glad to hear you're alright man. Its crazy how fast things can go from a great day in the mountains to a fight for your life.

I guess this is a wake up call for me and everyone for another danger in the hills. I always think about Avi's but never really thought about blowing off the top of a ridge into another bowl like that before and I've even seen the rev video before.

Great to hear you are ok Kyle. It was awesome to get that fist pump from you when the heli brought you down safe.

I did a bit of a write up on the incident and one of my group members created a bit of a video. I did ask one of the group members for permission to post and they were all for it. This is a learning experience for all. Thanks everyone for keeping it positive.

I am in NO way making light of the situation, and am VERY happy to hear that Kyle is doing well, and going to make a recovery. GREAT work by a GREAT group of people. My question, however, is: What does it cost to be rescued? And, what does it cost to have his sled pulled out of there? Just a curiosity thing, as I certainly don't PLAN on ever needing either.
