And no matter what the emergency, doesn't let go of the GoPro selfie sick.
thats because camera man never dies, he who holds the camera holds immortality itself
I had no idea enormous random holes like this even existed. That's scary AF!!
@@Top10AI203 that’s not a crevasse, thats a treewell. Nothing like newbies who have no idea what they are talkin about
@@Top10AI203 That is not a crevasse, that is a snow bridge formed over a river. A crevasse only exists on glacier and this is not it because of the trees all around. Two things to avoid at all cost while riding backcountry are rivers and trees
random is the right word. How the heck did that hole even end up being there
@@doriandundee9906 Large amounts of snow on a small stream or river. The water isn't frozen and gradually melts and carries away the snow until you end up with a hollow cavity beneath an otherwise inconspicious snow layer.
Other way is for treebranches to form a roof which carry the snow but not the fellow skiing over it.
I think we know who is buying the beer.
Awesome video. As a once/twice a season skiier, I watch these videos to convince myself to stay on the piste, and only venture off-piste with a guide who knows what they're doing.
Holy shit mate. Glad to see you weren't on your own.
idk why but i find this is hilarious. i would be scared shitless but he just looks so helpless down there..
"I'm here with ya man!"
"Oh good"
"Be careful"
"No shit!"
lol
That's crazy. How big was the cavern underneath?
At least he didn't wake up the bears hibernating
Don’t ride out of bounds, backcountry, or in the trees alone* you can ride alone in a resort just fine
Damned mammoths, when they pee-pee the hole in the snow is enormous.
Seriously, yellow jacket guy was pretty lucky that buddies heard him. That's why we never ride alone.
Could have been a tree hole, but this being Japan where everything is on a big or little volcano, could have been a small steam vent. It's not good to be out without a shovel, but you can use your board to dig steps out of the snow or to pull enough snow down to stand on and get out. That would be your best move in a situation like that with no shovel. Good thing that your mates were there.
guy realistically would've been fine could've dug himself out with relative ease
WTF? Random hole!? I'm never going off-piste! I'm glad there was someone to rescue you and it all turned out okay.
Good he landed in it feet first!!!
Dang! I guess falling into a crevasse isn't as rare as I thought it would be. I've seen tons of video's like this in the last few days after watching a tree well rescue. Now my recommended videos are loaded with avalanches, tree wells & crevasse rescues.
I sure do hope y’all caved that in before leaving lol
Just dig the snow into the hole. The hole fills up, the guy gets lifted up, and the surrounding snow goes down.
did you ever learn how that hole formed? It doesn't look like a regular tree well.
Backpack with shovel and probe, and a beeper. Not only for avalanches! Had you been alone, you would have been able to get yourself out with the shovel. Had you been alone without it... you would have frozen to death. Please, do that investment when you go out there. Glad to see you had good buddies with you and got out!
He could have used his board as shovel... Still a proper shovel is always a good idea! He´s chrying out like a baby instad of braking snow out to Stand higher and get out more easy...
Ben S. Breaking snow out? By taking snow from the edges he could collapse the edge and bury himself. Re did the right thing and didn’t touch the edge until he was being pulled out.
@@bob15479.......... I'm sure it was your intention to sound like a F@€KING dipshit....right?😉 I mean cuz ya do
i used to want to go play in the snow but not anymore...
Snow just straight up went and _"Yoink"_
Hey Matt! Hope you are well man. You should sell this video dude! Was a crazy experience. You still in Japan? I live in Melbourne now.
HEADPHONES WARNING!!!
I turned the volume up to hear people talking and then someone bumps the camera and nearly blows out my ear drums...
Incredible. So do you guys try to fill that in before taking off? Or cordon it off somehow? Forgive me, I don't know much about snow sports.
what the fuck are the odds you fall RIGHT there where the chimney is.. Awsome vid and I hope someone marked it with an X and told patrol
Where abouts in Nozawa was this??
Can someone explain how this hole forms? Is it like a cravasse?
Bahaha pretty chill guys for the scariest moment of ur life
When she says its her first time.
Its not just a single hole, underneath theres a tunnel under alot more of the snow!
Wow I was thinking a avalanche or something not that. Wired how it made that perfect circular drop area above that creek
Maybe he was just so fucking massive that when he fell he created a 10 foot crater in the ground
Matt finished the day at the " BUNNY SLOPES " and N E V E R skied again. THE END... LOL.
Now that’s just terrifying. If he was alone he’d be dead makes me rethink me wanting to go alone
0:46 that is funny
Still should have called ski patrol and told them about the hole so it could be marked.
Over 9 years ago!
Bru this just makes me even more scared of the sport :/
Nah bro don’t be, this is backcountry in the trees where you need to be a lot more careful. If you stick to the groomed trails at the main resort than this is literally never going to happen. That being said I still prefer tree trails and backcountry😂
Dodged a bullet champ. Buy a lotto ticket and buy your good mate a beer!
Lucky you didn't wake up the bear that was living down there....
ребята красавцы!!!!
Serves him right for riding with a selfie stick lol
Lucky it wasn’t a beer den down there
Dude, Thanks for the GoPro and Board. Bye!
GET MY GUY OUTTA THE HOLE ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
Seems that the bear was not at home.
This taught me a valuable lesson: Always carry a rope in your pack when going in the outdoors.
that could have had a very different ending!
A Gaijin trap...
U r really lucky one!
Please tell me you alerted ski patrol about it so they could mark it off as a danger zone for others to see?
You guys didnt mark it? Did you let someone know to rope it off before the next person goes down?
This is actually a fake video but if it saves one person it’s a great video
Медведь глухой был в той берлоге,повезло вам...
When ski alone or with my friends in woods, should i carry rope in my backpack? I love skiing in woods but if this would happen, it would be scary
Dang
Hey matty its russ. Man what a funny time this was. Hope youre well buddy! Reply back bro
Hey Russ! It's funny every winter this video gets loads of action. Especially this year had lots of people commenting. How are you going mate?
I'm having a PANIC ATTACK and I haven't skied for 20 - yrs... LOL.
Jesus loves you he's coming soon Jesus is the way the truth and the life the only way to heaven too God bless you !
Good job boy's!
Not as bad. But I fell 5 feet into a snow covered creek. I was being stupid and didn't see the hazard pole. You fell way further and there was no marking. That's scary. This accident seems completely unavoidable.
Talk about unlucky holy shit
I may be dead but it's not all bad. I got the video! Hurray, wait no.
bro rrolled into the hole
I stopped breathing
Снежный колодец коварная штука блин
Хорошо, что это не берлога медведя!
What the hell even is that hole?
You telling me there are random air pockets below the snow? How does that even form?
This happened to my friend naiel
In the background you can see smother person fall into one
@@ryans9029 The powers of observation never cease to amaze me. Different person with the camera, the incident in slow-mo.. yet it seems the video would've needed a flashing neon sign saying DIFFERENT ANGLE. As a species we're in a much deeper hole than the guy in the video ever was..
Then you let patrol know where the hole is.
hollow earth theory is true!
Freestyle boards, zero security equipements. Do me a favor stay on resort next time.
yoo what is that thing? I'm terrified
So this guy see's the hole, falls to avoid, and rolls in to it?? lmfaoo
Nah hole wasn't there.... snow dropped under him, initiating the fall, then gives completely and drops him in.
thats what you get for wearing those pants
It puts the lotion on its skin!
We're gonna need someone to get you out lol you can touch him 😂 ffs some people
Smmoking
You could still climb out of this by creating a step with snow, am I right?
Which leads to suffocation or just being slowly crushed to death by chunks of ice.
@@morguepup well I mean, if the only other option was to freeze/starve to death, that may be a chance worth taking.
Yeah, guy got really lucky! So you yahoos mark the hole for the next unlucky souls passing there? No? Didn't think so .
Что там не воняло медведем даже ))?
the guy almost die but he doesn't take off his camera no comment
А палку свою бросить не вариант,обязательно снимать? Постанова😆
Is nobody gonna talk about that second skiier who went down right before him 💀
All these people saying “don’t ride alone.” What if you don’t have friends?? Should I ask someone in the lift line to stay with me at all times? No. Riding alone is ok, just don’t ride alone backcountry. Simple
これ日本じゃん
Very similar thing happened to me and a buddy last week, thankfully he didnt fall all the way through. Video on my page
What the fuck was that hole?
The worthless cuticle positionally drip because basement booly form but a tasteless mist. oval, clear pedestrian
JESUS SAVED HIM!!! JESUS LOVES YOU ALL WERE IN THE LAST DAYS! JESUS IS COMING GUYS TURN TO HIM AND U CAN BE SAVED! HE'S THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE THE ONLYWAY TO GOD!:)
Believe what you wanna believe but Im fairly certain that his friends pulled him out
3:50 omg americans.. stop making everything look like x games, dont you have humility facing nature ?
You're upset because they cheered when they got him out of the hole? Also fuck off with your xenophobia, they're not even Americans you fool.
Looks like we have or local expert(*probably never skied before*) above guys... we should 100% listen to everything this professional(*breaks collar bone on the bunny hill*) skier has to say. I don’t get what all the hate is for, this guy is a true master(*freakin idiot*) in the skiing world. Case closed.
Holy shit, I once fell into a snow hole like this, but luckily only about 6.5ft so i could climb out. Lucky escape man
Never ride alone
Johnny Waffles u r so right
No friends. ..
@@bloroxcleach3439 then stay on the groomed ;)
yeah never.. but i do this sometimes...its so wrong
And take a whistle with you.
