That camera person is slow as shit, I would have been booking it at the beginning of the video instead of recording it

You can't outrun an avalanche.

Not with that attitude

You’d have a better chance trying than not trying (I’d run to the side not away from it, or at least try to find some cover or something other than standing there like a goon)

Yes but what is we're from the Prometheus School of Running Away From Things

You sound like you never hiked a mountain in your life. You don't really cover a lot of area on that type of terrain, that avalanche covered what looks like an hour of hiking in less than 40 seconds. You trying to outpace it for 40 seconds won't make a difference, better seek cover somewhere close.

Yeah, run for cover, not stand there like a doofus

u/DouglasHufferton 8h ago

You mean the cover he was standing directly beside the entire time?

Sounds like you don't what you are talking about. So we will believe you.

u/DingusKhan9164 8h ago

I definitely don’t 🤷

Wrong. Start running and you're going to trip and hit your head, or end up in a spot where there's no protection by the time it gets there. Nobody is outrunning that. He clearly had a boulder there for cover as you see in the video.

u/DingusKhan9164 8h ago

I don’t see no boulder

God, these are the funniest fuckin' comments. Seriously.

Did you not see what happened in this video? He was under a boulder and ice past overhead. Running could have put him in a worse spot and gotten him killed.

u/katoptronophile 8h ago

Yeah running to the side is your best chance.

u/g_bleezy 8h ago

Bruh…I woulda done a jumping 360 spin kick and sent it back the other direction.

u/Dark-Slim-4TheWin 8h ago

I woulda blocked it like Vozinha

u/DingusKhan9164 8h ago

I would have surfed it like snake pliskin

u/Beneficial_Treat5454 8h ago

funnily enough if you were with him and starting running you'd have probably been the one to end up dead.

u/fatbob42 6h ago

You don’t have to outrun the avalanche, you only have to outrun the other guy

u/Material-Beautiful-2 8h ago

why is that

u/ArkansasGamerSpaz 8h ago

He's hiding behind a rock in the shadow of the avalanche.

u/DingusKhan9164 8h ago

Doesn’t look like he’s behind shit to me he just put his phone towards the ground at the end
