That's because there is. Crevasses are incredibly dangerous. Imagine falling into a 50 foot canyon that gets narrower until you're wedged at the bottom and every time you exhale you go a little deeper till you can no longer breath. Stuff of nightmares.
Even if someone did it yesterday and there is still a big hole at the bottom, no guarantee the ice and snow haven’t shifted somewhere inside and now it’s blocked off
I know, I watched the whole thing. But if you encounter such an opening, seeing marks of someone going in still only tells you just that – someone went in. They aren't a guarantee for the existence of an exit, or of an exit you can get to and through uninjured.

Quick question. WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING EMPIRE STRIKES BACK FROZEN DEATH MADE YOU THINK YOU SHOULD DO THIS?!

The best part about this activity is that you don't have to do it

Those words were just making it out of my brain and into my mouth just as I read this.

A glacier can shift at any time. Don't play under them.
PFCHudson
No, thanks.
layinginbedfeelinglikeaquesarito
Isn’t that like literally the opposite of what you are supposed to do?
SandpaperCock
This seems unsafe.
abetteridiot
Yeah, but that's just because it is.
FetteredJuvenescence
It seems that way, but in actuality it's monumentally unsafe.

I'm really confused about your height watching this

I'm assuming the fisheye lens makes this look way, way worse than it actually is... still a hard no

What in 8 shades of fuck would make you do that? On skis?

What the fuck don't do that

Reminds me of my ex

A friendly reminder that snow and ice are not solid but flow, and will shift whenever Odin feels like it.

I'd try it.

bring a spool of string so they can dig you out

Your frozen corpse anyway.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
maybe they dig fast
LitchLitch
Even small avalanches break steel cables, strings are not really going to be sufficient
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
fine, a streaming bottle of ink, or strawberry syrup so they can follow the sno-cone to your frozen ass 🍧
LitchLitch
Ok, but why bother? Goven climate trends its going to melt eventually and their lame ass will be much easier to access.

That just looks like there's a high chance to die a very slow and horrible death.

This is my hole! It was made for me!

What’s crazy is there are rescue alert devices and yet some people will still just go without them on solo skis and hope for the best.
I’ve seen too many videos of people getting swallowed up and just by luck someone found them.
Nah. I’d have that rescue alert if I was soloing these deep snow areas.
IrrelevantHandle
If you can't afford the alert gizmo then you can't afford to solo ski. Same with solo hiking.

Ever since I heard about the Nutty Putty cave incident, I swore to myself I would never find myself in tight spaces like these.

Or that one where the snowboarder got stuck upside down from falling into a snow well. https://www.adventuresnw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/TreeWells-799x1024.jpg

It's so horrible and yet I can't help but snort and think "imagine dying in a place called Nutty Putty cave"

Oh that wasn't fun to watch at all.

Exactly. This seems like a good way to get unalived.

Nutty Putty Cave, I'm assuming?

That's the exact image I was thinking of while watching this.
nmgwynn
I'm very certain if i tried that there wouldn't be a bottom hole.
BerryButcher
There are tracks down there so it's a tested hole.
nmgwynn
Leave my mother out of it.

Gotcher bottom hole right here.

that's usually my line.

Fine! Keep yer luscious butthole to yourself. Bet it tastes like regular skin anyway.

PineappleLoopsBroether
I really hope they do some kind of test first…. Maybe drop a bucket of bouncy balls?
NineByNine
drr drr drr...
PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe
I have to assume they tested this in some way before somebody actually went into it
SergeyPrkl
I think someone fell in, and discovered, by luck, there is an exit and it can be done again.
FetteredJuvenescence
Doesn't actually matter. Even if your friend just went through 30 seconds ago, a tiny shift in the snow might mean it's blocked now.
PineappleLoopsBroether
You don’t actually have to assume that. I think we both HOPE so, but there’s a low chance they test it
redstaterefugee
You can see the ski tracks indicating it wasn't the first time someone went through.
abetteridiot
That only indicates someone went *in* though…
redstaterefugee
You do see them at the end going out.
PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe
Maybe they sent a squirrel on skis
