It's the biggest nightmare scenario for anyone who goes skiing — being buried alive in an avalanche of snow. That was the terrifying situation Edouard Bozon found himself in after getting caught up in an avalanche, injuring his leg in the process. And if that wasn't enough, the avalanche trapped him on the edge of a crevasse!

However, some amount of fortune was smiling down on Bozon, since there was a small opening for him to call out for help. His skiing partner was able to pull him out safely, and the two made it off the mountain thanks to rescuers in a medical helicopter.
