This looks mad.
4:32
[gentle music] Ugh.
5:05
Ah.
5:05
I go into these environments and I feel tiny and humble and powerless, but I appreciate it immensely.
5:14
It's given me joy and it's enriched my life.
5:18
What do you think the damage is there? Sprained thumb I think is fine.
5:21
I just throw it in a little brace.
6:27
I wish you the best of luck getting down.

4:42
JT, tell us what happened to you.
4:44
I was skiing, and I thought I was following the directions of my guides.
4:49
And the whole entire face just cracked like a windshield that just shattered.
4:56
And I tried to escape out to the left by skiing fast, and I very, very nearly escaped the thing.
5:06
But one piece of snow, maybe the size of two kegs of beer, wiped me off my feet and prevented me from getting to the undisturbed snow.
5:19
And at this point, everything really accelerated.
5:24
You know, I'm, I'm now on top of these sliding pieces of, uh, rectangular kind of glass that's coming down, and soon it becomes more powdery as it enters a funnel, essentially.
