Your video, Runaway Snowmobile after a trick jump gone wrong, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I have to ask: what did he think was going to happen riding a snowmobile up a steep mountainside with several feet of untouched snow on it?

It's actually just due to the internal design and how video statuses are handled. It's all rather complex and was originally designed before features like *dead and the pqueue.

In reply to this comment by jonny:
*dead - "This video has been removed by the user."

yeah, yeah, bot.

@lucky760 - Is this restriction necessary anymore? I thought it was to prevent unsifted videos that would otherwise be discarded when expiring from lingering in the deadpool (prior to the existence of pqueues).

Wow, what a tard. 50 below and he decides to ride his snow machine or atv.

wtf? empathy much?

No empathy here. As you can see by the condition of his finger tips, he was riding a snow machine or atv and froze his fingers where the knuckles faced the wind, leaving the finger tips less damaged. Like avalanche deaths from high marking or any other sort of motorized idiocy, this behavior is only worthy of scorn. If his children suffer because he cannot work, I will exhibit empathy and perhaps charity.

Here, have a picture of where Churchill Manitoba (where he's from) is located.
Now, you're American, so you most likely don't understand how Canadian population density works, but the farther north you get, the lower the populations.
And the lower the populations, the more likely it is that they don't have snow plows, and need to do things like use snowmobiles to get into town if they need supplies.
Until you have all the facts, how about not being an ass and giving the benefit of the doubt? Because most likely, he only rode because he had to.

Wow, Lotta hate going on. Anyone who fucking lives and works outside where it goes to 50 below should know that sitting on your ass creating your own windchill will give you frostbite. Plowing does not occur 40 to 60 miles an hour. At 50 below and high rates of speed heated grips don't work to keep ALL of ones hand warm . All of you fucking desk monkeys know jack shit! This type of frostbite happens to people involved in "Recreational Activities" now be good little nerds and fuck off.


How bout you read my post again carefully?

I never said HE was the one plowing, and if I did, why the fuck would he be doing it on something with an open cab.

Exactly what I said was: "IN THE NORTH, THEY DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE PLOWS, AND HE POTENTIALLY HAD TO USE A SNOWMOBILE TO GET INTO TOWN"

Nowhere is there ANY information as to why he was riding a snowmobile, but if it's 50 below, there's a pretty good fucking chance that he wasn't doing it recreationally, and until stated otherwise, once again, how about we stop assuming and have a little bit of sympathy?

I can upvote snowboarders, but not snowmobilers. Internal combustion engines are just so passe.

Youtube posting apparently left by the rescued snowmobiler: "The guy on the white sled rode the avalanche down and knew right where to look for me. These guys saved my ass and got me out fast. Seemed like a whole lot longer when in the snow but thanks for the quick work guys. Looking forward to the next ride with you beacon and all.:)"

The ones of snowmobiles doing this is much cooler, they travel really long distances on water.

Not so much over as around.
Used to do this in the winter with snowmobiles as a kid... good times.
