- Skiing the famous 'Le Tunnel' Black run in Alpe D'Huez on Wednesday 15/03/2017.
Small mistake turns into massive 150m-200m fall/crash. Filmed from my point of view.
Injury sustained: torn rotator cuff on right shoulder
Filmed by Dan M using: GoPro Hero 4 @ 1080p x 60fps. Mounted to helmet. - กีฬา
It's better if you ride down on your skis.
Lmao
Jared B 😂😂😂 He coulda just like stopped by digging his boots in
This guy is so gay
@@platinumpineapple9943 My husband did just that falling down a black run in Les Arcs and by digging in his boot he broke his leg! So, not a good idea I am afraid.
Hahahahahahha you Dick !
Respect for showing your failure on your GoPro and not just your success.
kiss ekht habalak
One way is to say its skiing failure. Other its ass riding success. He rode that ass like a champ
Failure? I'd count that a successful decent. He probably broke the world record for fastest decent on that particular run and he used minimal energy to do so.
Yeah haha it was funny
They film it to get attention. Thats first rule on social media. This was mission accomplished .
Bro came down without taking a turn. Impressive
first
HaHa..."PIZZA!! PIZZA!! PIZZA!!"
"massive fall"
he did 2 turns 😂
@@MrLince-hr4of onto his front and then onto his back?
Sad part is, he was fastest man on the slope
@1:32 And the other guy on his ski laughs at him
I've seen a guy going faster than him ON SKIS on this slope. It's more impressive than anything you could imagine tbh
I love how the crowd at the end is just staring at you like a pack of cows that are watching a dog waltz past them.
They just can not help, if they'd try they most likely injure themselves by getting his boots in face or legs and demage would be much bigger
@@rchard6345 no one even asked if he was okay
@@jpark91 you dont even know - the video stopped to early to know it for sure.
He was literally on his feet within 2 seconds of his fall ending. What do you expect them to do, stop him midfall?
Hi! Your video recalls my fall 27 years ago, after tunnel. Around me I fall for 400 meters. My friends recovered my skis and rescued me. I still remember that day. Thanks for sharing.
My mom ac accidentally went on a double blind entire open knee
400m?? 😱
🙏🙏
@@cockman1016 Oh my God
@@1Flyingfist two steep walls! In the end I saw my friends at the top, they were small
There's not 400m to fall after tunnel run as it flattens out 🤔
Man I would be seriously pissed if this happened to me, you wait in line for the lift up, only to slide down the whole thing and miss all the skiing! Great video though...
NO LIFT LINES IN FRANCE
I am too european to understand this comment
@@maxwellcandidekingston8815 that is not true. Alpe D’Huez can often have lift lines, especially to go up to the top of Le Pic Blanc you can wait 40 mins for the cable car on a nice day or the day after it snowed
Slipping down looks like just as much fun.
@@MrCmon113 It’s terrifying though I know someone who was a really good skier but the fell and couldn’t stop, they broke their back and can’t walk now and it’s been years
Impressive, even though this video always tend not to give good representation of how steep those tracks are. But judging by how fast you were sliding we can imagine!
I've done that before, fell in the same way!
There goes the confidence of the newer skier waiting at the top.
If you use ski poles, you HAVE to learn the maneuver called "Self-arrest". This can potentially save your life and that of others (by avoiding high-speed collisions), and at the very least minimize your injuries (and that of others) by a TREMENDOUS amount. Every human being operating anywhere close a mountain slope should know that skill, just like the first thing you're taught when skiing for the first time is "how to stop".
@@KayCypher thanks to you i discovered a technique that i didnt know. i will use it now, thanks!
Man that’s a slippery ski outfit.
He waxed it well :) lol
Nah, I fell down that thing years ago....you can't tell from a camera, but it's a wall... i did the same thing, over-rotated while pausing, then slid backwards and fell. there's no margin of error and nothing you can do stop yourself- halfway down you're blind from the snow and ice and you just keep accelerating! I managed to ski it 3 out of 4 goes, though!
Was that Frosty?
@@christophermclean3921 its steep and theres not a lot of powder
Congrats on not screaming one oh shit! during that whole fall. You’re a better man than me.
He was probably hoping that nobody was watching. 🙈 I thought it would be of him falling immediately off the left hand side outside of the tunnel.
@@1Flyingfist why would he scream? not like he was gonna fall of the edge of some cliff. Looks like a mild little kiddie ski place lol.
Tranquilo, TÚ no eres menos macho que ÉL, ni ÉL es más macho que TÚ.
ÉL es MUDO.
😂😂😂😂😂
He is French
Sometimes you just can't scream, because you're very focused on not getting hurt. I was once in dangerous situation and not a single sound came out of my mouth, because I had to be so focused on what's going on.
Ok and Second problem was : how can I get my skis back??
@@richar75 yell for someone to grab them
@@jkill0993 i think you would cause a avalanche if you need to yell that hard for them to hear
@@balto2455 not on that ice 🥶
woops youre right xD
@@richar75 Are you aware of how hard it is to walk up 150-200 metres of a steep black run in ski boots?
You just relived the same experience I had on that run many years ago right down to skis hat coming off. Hats off for sharing the fail!

@@KayCypher Thanks Kay Ill check that technique out. I think my days of tres difficile runs though are now long behind me but will pass in the tip
Love it, the way that guy watches you slide past... we've all done it.
Wow! It really doesn't look that steep until you see him just slide and slide. Glad you're okay!
It is steep and bumpy. I did the run 20years ago and survived. I wouldn’t want to attempt it now in my late 60’s. That would be me on my arse for several hundred meters 😂
Legend has it that he’s still sliding down that hill today.
OMG i can laugh because you're safe nice video !
Thats one way to ski down the mountain. I've been there, done that!
Skiing Le Tunnel switch! Nice!
LOL. I think he squeezed in a flat spin 540 on the way down too.
Nice to see you're alive and well Jerry!
Reminding me of my own Tour d'Tunnel.
That s not a massive skiing fall, that s just a new way to ride! 😁
Legend has it the skis are still making it's way down the slope with perfect figure eights
One of my first times ever boarding I unclipped on a fairly steep/smooth blue run as I got stuck. Lost grip when trying to clip in and slid all the way down the slope without my board lol. Didn't get hurt at all but felt so silly sliding so far in front of so many people 😂 luckily stopped before a massive ditch at the end of the run
Taking the quick way down?
And the unsafe way. There are a million reasons you could DIE because of a fall like that. He was VERY lucky he made it out OK.
if i wanted to enjoy the scenery on the way down - then i'd always follow your path.
Well, I see this like 10x times a day in Verbier , those people down there where you stopped is also classic, no help . Just staring on you. Good that you stopped in the end , lucky ...
Hello TheHungryWanderer, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
Nice descent - you beat all of the competitors who kept their skis on! Glad you were ok.
Wow, had a similar situation recently, ski ejected somewhat randomly and slid down a
Another kind of descend...Happy to see that you are ok at the end. I Hope the skis are closed to you!
Big props to this guy for his willingness to post this. Sh1t happens. Even to the best of us.
I love how that group of skiers at the bottom just turn their heads to watch him.
Bunch of pussies. I would try to rescue him
@@Hat3eer lol
The same happened to me. After the fall nothing could stop me, I was sliding faster and faster. This was the point when I decided to wear helmet and other protectors :)
I never tried this slope, and after seeing this video, I am glad I didn't !
Wow .. the slippery fall that never ends!

I hope that your recovery was a full one and you are skiing again. It seemed like a tight space with few skiable lines due to people standing around at the top. Tough situation.
Snow looks like shit too which doesn’t help
Its good that people post their falls. respect to you for doing so. Here, in my opinion the mistake was to be in too much of a hurry. You should have left the woman in a green jacket and blue backpack (in a standstill position at second 51) move on before engaging in the turn which you were unable to complete. If she was not there, you would have had the space she occupied to go to and you would have been calmer because you would not have had to also think about avoiding her. Patience is an underestimated art in skiing.
I don't think he cares about the input that wasn't asked for.
Why do you feel the need to criticize a 4 year old video lol..you're adding input to inflate your own ego.
@@robert9595 Did it ever maybe cross your mind that I came across this video just now? And I made it very clear that I appreciated him publishing a fail video. For me, the video helped me realise how patience is important and I wanted to point it out. But I guess this is all way too complicated for you to understand.
@@johnschranz5271 Nah man, The fact your comment was 3 days before mine, hence referencing the age of the video in my response...indicating I CLEARLY know you just seen it..
You also immediately start adding your criticism afterwards, input that wasn't asked for. Lol.
(Edit) actually, you're not criticizing...you're telling him.what he should do, lol. You're not offering advice or support lulz..
But lets ignore all that obvious information for the sake of entertainment.
Haha oh shot my bad man. I thought you posted that way long ago.
@@robert9595 Out of all the bad comments the one you are critizing is the least annoying imo.
As my mechanic says… you don’t run out of track, you just run outta talent.
Been a while since I skied that slope. The guy next to me did it in telemark. Big respect.
That quote is the most uninspiring thing ive ever heard lmao, thats just depressing
It must be super steep. Good video. I would definitely love to go there once.
Jesus I'm doing that run and now I'm excited/scared idk which!😂
It looked like you fell almost standing still
That's the way to keep your edges sharp and bases unmarred, well played sir.
Embarrassing, I can imagine. Thanks for posting!
the fun part is that nobody said are you ok ? they just stared at you
Wasn’t In Canada.
Here in Europe we don’t ask people if they ok we just tell them to get their shit together 😂
They need to figure out which language to pick up first.
@@Derkaderkavlad he can't he left a trail of it down the slope
@@adm924s seems like a good reason asking someone get his shit together ...
Question: How do you find/retrieve your skis and poles after a fall like that?
Some nice person on the slope usually pick em up where you fell and deliver them straight to you, so you dont have to go all the way up yourself. 😁
@@MegaArrowman I was wondering the same thing! Thank you for the answer.
@@MegaArrowman if you are lucky
With a lot of difficulty
Hopefully you have a friends/family behind you.
Most skiers are quite helpful and usually someone will help out.
If your alone then you gotta make a climb back up if you can.
I guess if that’s not possible then call 112 (international emergency number) and someone will come rescue you and hopefully your gear
@@stephenmason3853 I can certainly tell you that 112 wont retrieve your gear ^^
This is a very humble man
sick run mate
It’s crazy how you can only see how steep a mountain is on a go pro when you fall
I have learned that anytime there a line at the top of the mountain, you should reconsider whether or not that run is for you 😊
EPIC ;) Did you ever catch up with your ski's?
my man didnt even need skis or poles, thats some good work respect
Thought you were gonna become a human snow ball there for a minute.. jokes aside.. it could of been much worse glad your ok and I hope someone helped retrieve your skis and poles. Good job tho.
Bro they didn't even bother to get his hands.
I was scared for your knees when you were trying to slow yourself down in te beginning
Sick reverse entry!
I'm glad that you're safe.
Epic yard sale!
moi j'dis que au moins sa fait plus de sensation
Impressive how quickly you got up.
I did the same some weeks ago, still quicker than it would've been on skis!
Did you get your skis back?
One way getting down it.
Sick run dude
Comment tu as récupéré les ski?
From California: That stash out was a beauty. I gotta hand it to that guy, documenting his failure and putting it out there.
Probably the fastest way down
That Hill reminds me of Snowbird's STH run. Or Alta's runs off of Wildcat Lift, for some reason. Maybe if the snow was softer, like it is in Utah, on most days, then a fall like that wouldn't have occurred.
You are *THE UNSTOPPABLE*
Glad you’re ok. Honestly that’s why I snowboard now. If you lose your gear on a steep hard fall you have no way of controlling yourself the rest of the way down.
Yes you have, its called self arresting. Works with Ski Boots too.
@@bigPianist99 Hard to do if you lost your poles. Honestly on that slope Id just let go too, no rocks and a flat bottom...
Would love to see the shape your knees and back would be strapped to a board even for 1/2 the ride.
If this happens, flip on your stomach and try to get to a kneeling position. Dig your toes into the snow. Push yourself up with your hands. Your toes will dig in and your surface area will be sharply reduced by getting most of your body off the snow and concentrated on your knees and toes. Your knees will take a pounding, but you'll stop as long as you're not on ice or very hard hardpack.
you also risk breaking ur legs if they catch well enough. Its too much of a risk, unless its very powdery snow. Just use your pole if you still got it.
@@kimjunguny you don't risk breaking your legs lol. That's much more likely if you keep sliding like the guy in the video. You will fall off a cliff one day if you don't learn how to self arrest.
@@tim3062 you could definitely break your legs on a mogul or something, weird stuff can happen.
In my experience it’s best to lay flat with arms out to create as much surface area as possible, using the friction to slow your slide until you can then dig in and actually stop yourself safely… the last thing you want to do is catch your feet while sliding fast. Tomahawking down the slope is way worse!
Same happened to me on off piste , was skiing out of a half pipe and fell back into it slid all the way down and missed all the off piste 😂😭
Thanks for sharing thrilling experience congratulations 👍
How long did it take you to recover all your gear?
He's still working on it.
Litteraly did it on purpose
Guenounovitch no haha , then you’re not a skier
Artin Jey he didn’t even try to stop. Even a non skier can see that
@@fabiofrongia3299 Do you ski or snowboard? It's not possible to stop, once you fall on that kind of slope 😳. Especially when your skis come off.
Well at least you managed to make the pist all the way to the end.
That sliding really shows how steep that face is even with it being a slippery day. It looks rather moderate initially on camera.
Shit happens...
Do some of you people understand the difficulty of black diamond? Telling a person to come back to bunny slopes and such just because of one fall on such run is ridiculous. I'm sure he had a lot of successful runs in the past. If it was first time he most probably would have went with more experienced friend.
I know there is no reason to discourage skiing online but this guy obviously can't ski.
@@JamesHardaker So you base that on a 1 min video? The fact that he is even attempting a steep black says to me he has at least some experience.
Good thing your ok made for a crazy video
I watched one video on this same location this dude made it look so easy dam it's dangerous
You need to learn the self-arrest technique!
there is no chance for self arrest on that slope without iceaxe ready in hand, so pls stop writing this bullshit
Should have learned the self-arrest technique. he would have stopped within 5 meters of the fall.
Now the fun part walking back up the slope to get your skis 😂
That’s one way to get down the mountain. I love how he just rolls up to a group of ppl. They’re all just looking at him like wtf? Lol
Increase your dins bro. That looked way to easy for your skis to come off
No It did not, they should come off when you fall. It's why they are made to come off in the first place.
Din setting is fine honestly, the right ski was caught under the left going backwards. He could have broken his knee had it not popped off
They are meant to release in a situation like this to prevent knee injuries
They're meant to release but not that easily. Having your DIN too low can be more dangerous as this scenario proves.
Stick to the green runs fella
Well done
Really fast! How fast will you go down on Skis?
Poor guy's... à veeeeeery bad level ^^
Either you had a brain fart or you had no business on a black run. That was the most ridiculous cause of a fall I've ever seen!
my worst wipeouts were stupid things like that... go figure.... but he should have rolled onto his tummy, spread and grip... at least that's what I was taught.
@@urbanrunoff Good point, but I don't like the idea of my legs going either side of a mogul :)
I had a similar fall going down the top of mammoth. I was sending it, as I had no other choice on an icy surface, and the crosswind threw me, and so I slid 200ft or so down the mountain. When i was sliding and trying to slowing down, my jacket sleeve slid up, exposing my arm to the ice and it gave me an abrasion.

Looks fun I might try 👍
Same thing happened to me today. Hope you’re okay. Shit was terrifying
Came here to say the same thing 😬

I have no clue how hard this is ? What can you compare it to, like a double diamond glade ?
It's always hard to compare, as depending on the resort a run might be deemed difficult or not. Here there are several "black" runs, which are the hardest, and this one is the hardest of them. Before entering the tunnel you see a big "danger" sign in 4 languages, then just at the entrance "recall: very difficult slope", then a bit before the end of the tunnel on the right you see a plaque for someone who died years ago on that slope.
It seems it's a 35° incline, which may not seem much, unless you're at the top of it. This is not a difficult slope for a good skier, but make a mistake and you'll slide to the bottom...The problem is that nowadays not that good skiers go there, meaning there's a crowd at the top, and they all go down the exact same path, packing all the snow and making a slippery path. I used to always try to turn left as soon as possible. A long time ago, it was even sometimes possible to exist the tunnel in front, straight into the slope, instead of turning right, if there was enough snow.
Awesome video!
Coraggioso e umile.bravo!
Aw, maaaaaaaaaan. It really looked like you had some downhill folks lined up *beautifully* on that one.
But then you missed everybody. I feel robbed of a highly-anticipated outcome. 🙁
videos never do the steepness justice
Very nice all the best
Looks fun
