The man filmed the whole process of avalanche escape. What should be the correct way to face an avalanche?

An avalanche occurred in Utah, USA. A man went riding a snowmobile with his friends, but he didn't expect an avalanche. One of them filmed the whole process of the avalanche, but he was still buried under the snow. Fortunately, all six people were alive. So, what should we do in case of an avalanche? I think we can follow these four steps.

First of all, keep a cool head.

When encountering an avalanche, the first thing to do is to keep calm, don't panic, and don't run around.

Because if you run in the wrong place, it is easy to be buried under the snow. In that case, you can only wait for help. Therefore, when an avalanche occurs, you must keep calm, otherwise making a wrong decision is likely to affect your life safety.

Second, find a safe refuge.

If there is an avalanche, there is usually an early warning. At this time, don't hesitate to see if there is a safe zone to avoid avalanches in the nearest place.

If you really can't find it, you can hide behind a big stone now, but it is worth noting that you must hold on to the stone. After all, the impact of the avalanche is still relatively large, and it will be washed out if you are not careful.

Third, run along the route on both sides of the avalanche, and never run at will.

If you really can't find a hiding place, you can only run. Of course, escape is also exquisite. When you escape, you should escape along the routes on both sides of the avalanche.

Because you can escape along the route on both sides of the avalanche, you can find a fixed object to ensure your safety. If you run around at will, it is easy to be in danger.

Also, cover your nose and mouth when you run away to prevent snow from entering your nose and mouth and avoid suffocation.

Fourth, when the avalanche stops, we should call for help in time.

If you are unfortunately buried under the snow, wait for the avalanche to stop, first see if you can dig out the blood in front of you, if not, try your best to ask someone outside for help.

Generally, after an avalanche, rescuers will come to search and rescue. If you hear outside voices underground, you can use them to attract outside attention.

In this way, people outside can save you faster, and you don't have to be buried under the snow for a long time.

When the avalanche will happen is not man-made or predictable. Since it is inevitable, at least try to know the correct way to survive in an avalanche.
