The clip was posted to social media byLes Powtos, a group of French off-piste skiers.
Much to his luck, a bump on the side of the glacier prevented him from going under.
Oh, the idiot!

He can be heard saying to himself in French.
The team members estimate that the skier slid about 50 feet into the glacier before coming to a stop.
As he pummeled down, the others watched him disappear from a lower vantage point.
Those were the longest minutes of our lives.
The team then used ice screws, axes, and a rope to bring him to safety.
We let a year go by, then finally decided to post it.
We thought it couldn’t hurt to share our experience.
While they are aware that the video is really scary, they see it as a prevention tool.
