Romanian Snowboarder’s Helmet Cam Captures an Avalanche as It Forms and Ultimately Overtakes Him

Romanian ski and snowboard instructor Sorin Radu was snowboarding in the Parâng Mountains in Romania when he was caught in an an avalanche–and because he was wearing a GoPro helmet cam, he captured the entire ordeal on video. The trouble began when snow started fracturing around Radu. Soon a full-on avalanche knocked him down and took him for a chaotic ride down the mountain. Amazingly, Radu survived the avalanche unharmed. Photos of the aftermath of the avalanche are available on the Sliders Crew ski and snowboard school Facebook page.
