Wow. That just made me feel so sick. Sure is a lesson in listening to your gut instinct. Thankfully he was fine!!

Almost looks like he could have rode it out….
But then I watched it in 1080p and you can see he bails because the sled hit a drift or a buried rock ....or something like that.

What would you do if you were in that situation?
Throttle?

ya like Trennis said he wanted to rip threw it and hit the wall,,,

but you want to either smash the flipper and go down ( even if you hit a bank a snow and air 30 ft your better off than a wall of snow swallowing you) or try and cut left or right out of it is even better but rarely an option....

not much time to decide,, good videos to help the instincts for sure,,,

Yeah I guess you don't have to many choices.....just reach up and pull the rip cord......

Yeah no doubt....time to question your choice of riding group/friends...

Once again.... 2 people on one slope = NFG
Mutiple burials always seem to have the worst outcomes.....

I think it was last year, not sure on location. Dude is from Calgary and has a fair amount of experience.
