A snowboarder in the Austrian Alps has shared a video of himself saving his friend's life after he fell and became submerged head-first in deep snow. The footage, which you can watch below, shows just how quickly accidents can happen, even at low speeds.
"We went to the backcountry or sidecountry of Wagrain/Salzburger Land and had a good day," the rescuer explained on YouTube. "At a very easy passage, one of our friends fell head first into deep powder. He was very lucky that he a) did not hit anything with his head b) that I helped him out. He was kinda stuck in this situation and panicked."
