Now that was an adrenaline rush.
Coronary heart-pounding video captured a snowboarder frantically racing for his life as he barely outruns a large avalanche on a New Hampshire mountain this week.
The footage, posted on-line by the Mount Washington Observatory, reveals the unidentified thrill-seeker getting greater than he bargained for — zooming down Tuckerman Ravine because the snow closes in.
Officers on the observatory stated the incident was captured on a webcam stationed on the summit of close by Wildcat Mountain and reveals the snowboarder on the left aspect of the video within the distance.
“After the digital camera zooms in, the snowboarder could be seen outrunning the avalanche,” the observatory stated. “Fortunately, nobody concerned was injured.”
He was fortunate — Mount Washington is the best peak within the Northeast and vulnerable to mishaps.
Final yr, a 20-year-old skier plunged 600 toes to her loss of life after falling off Tuckerman Ravine.
Based on the Mount Washington Avalanche Middle, 25 individuals on common are injured climbing, climbing or snowboarding on the rugged mountain yearly and must be rescued by the US Forest Service or the Mount Washington Volunteer Ski Patrol.
The accidents vary from sprained ankles to multi-systems trauma, to avalanche burials,” it stated.
