Sometimes us humans think we can conquer mother nature with our mechanical contraptions, but that’s clearly not the case.
A one Uncle Jim, and whom we assume to be his nephews, went out to play around in the snow with their rides. When the former tried to climb a slope, he seems to have triggered a mini avalanche that sent both the rider and his snowmobile rolling down the hill.
The accident, which occurred last year, was filmed from two angles, one from above and the other from the rider’s head-mounted camera where we see him tumbling down before crash-stopping on the trees.
Bossrev, the person who uploaded the footage on YouTube, commented:
“He did jack up his knee but luckily that’s all that is wrong. He was partially buried with his head exposed facing down hill. Right leg was wrapped around a tree and he had 5 to 6 feet piled up on his legs and back. Sled got Banged up pretty good. We went and recovered the sled today. Took 1.5 hrs to dig out the sled and another 3 to get it back to the truck. Smashed up the right side of the bulk head and tunnel.”
