NATURE IS AWESOME.
So, despite the art-house French commentary to this clip, it pretty much explains itself visually better than we could put into words.

Long story short, skier Julien Lopez is trying to outrun an avalanche, but falls.
He stands up, turns around and watches the mountain fall towards him.

Afterwards he spoke about the ordeal with Pisthors.com:
“In spite of all that the statistics are there, in 25% of cases, you will already be dead, squashed by the weight of the snow, a horrible experience, almost impossible to describe.
“I was lucky, very lucky, I don’t wish anyone to go through what I did that day so ski intelligently, think of those closest to you, that’s it.”
People can laugh at Davy as much as they like but he’s done well at Waterford, Clare and now Wexford. Credit where it’s due. Delighted for Wexford today.
@Sean Healy: he did not do well with Waterford
@Ole dan tucker: won a munster title with them and got them to an all Ireland final. He did well.
@Ole dan tucker: Munster title and an all ireland final. Yeh he didn’t do well.
@Ole dan tucker: he won a Munster and also hit us to 2008 Liam McCarthy final. Not bad eh?
Very enjoyable game, the shooting from both sides was excellent. Well done to Wexford, O’Connor and Chin were immense for them
@Frank Scanlon: well done Wexford, well done Davy, some man.
@Frank Scanlon: well spot on Frank,fierce enjoyable,and im glad im not on my own,the experts saying twas a bad game….two points ,holy God ,Donal O’Grady is lile the boaring priest in Fr Ted..and well done Davy ,well done wexford….
@Gerry Campbell: Don’t know how anyone could say that wasnt a good game, some savage point-taking. I still think Cork would beat the pick of them but definitely a bit of Munster snobbery going on if lads are saying that was a bad match
@Gerry Campbell: how was tat a bad game was a serious game intense great scores and tight Leinster has destroyed Munster this year for enjoyment and great games get over it I the no t all about munster
@Frank Scanlon: it was the commentators saying that. Personally I didn’t agree.
Well done Davy. I would say that it is safe to say that your achievements are unmatched.
Proud of our Wexford team today . They refused to buckle, kept a clean sheet and kept their composure. Chin, Rory and Conor Mc all stood up and delivered. All of them put the shoulder to the wheel. Total team effort. Hold your heads high tonight Wexford hurlers. And massive credit to Davy in getting the players to believe in themselves. Superb manager
Laois and Westmeath joining the championship at this stage is beyond ridiculous
@Ian Hat: and Galway gone,after losing one match ,westmeath ( no offence ) still in after ,you guessed it,losing one match …..twould give an anadin a headache…
@Gerry Campbell: If Limerick lost today they would still be in the championship having lost 3 games. Mad stuff but brilliant.
@Gerry Campbell: Galway knew the layout of the championship before it started and lost out on scoring difference cos they failed to beat Carlow by as much as other teams. Westmeath and Laois also knew the layout and qualified through their competition. Would you prefer that teams who are on the lower rungs just stay there and know their place and let the big teams get on with it ??? Whining now when the rules were set out last year smacks of just being a bad loser
Brilliant team effort from Wexford. Incredible discipline, effort and energy shown by all. Every one stood up and was counted . And Chin, Rory and Conor Mc brilliant in their shooting. The minors end a 34 year wait for a Leinster on a day of days for Wexford supporters
Pure thrilled for Wexford!!! Anyone but KK
Well done Wexford fought like tigers great to see tough hard fought hurling matches! Davy’s still a hard man to like though. Honda yellow bellies!!
@Noel Kelly: Own to the bone Noel!!
