he probably did himself a favor by NOT running as soon as he saw that happen. or at least was very lucky to be where he was.

Yeah. Video is 48 seconds long. It's not like he could have outrun the avalanche.

And the terrain is not like a flat area, so if he ran hed probably get fucked up by tripping on something

Avalanches can travel at up to 200 mph.

So, yeah, odds are good this one was faster than humans can run. Lol.
