A British man named Harry Shimmin posted this wild footage taken Friday out in Kyrgyzstan, the place he says he was on a guided tour with 8 others by means of the Tian Shan Mountains … at one level by means of which the group reached the best level potential by climbing.

That is when an avalanche from a close-by peak began to unfold, barreling down on Harry — who had separated from the group a bit to take pictures on his personal. As he appears to be like on on the snow, which appears to be fairly a long way away, he rapidly realizes it is coming nearer.

Quickly, the fact units in … that he is about to be buried by this factor if he would not take cowl. Performing as a little bit of a daredevil, Shimmin waits ’til the final second to do precisely that.

HS explains that he knew he’d be alright all alongside — as he was proper by a ridge the place he might duck beneath when the snow came to visit him — however admits … it was dangerous enterprise.
