Buried Alive by an Avalanche

This amazing online video was captured in April 2008 in Haines, Alaska. The skier fell 1,500 feet in 20 seconds and walked away without injury.

Filmed from the vantage point of a helmet camera, what’s so haunting about this video is the agony of being buried alive, the sound of desperate breathing, and finally the rescuer’s shovel opening up the view to a blue sky. An amazing second chance on life!
