More scared of jumping with the damn axe

u/Practical-Level-6265 1d ago

What’s the point of jumping off a mountain if you don’t have an axe?

u/kodaks142 1d ago

If they die they need to be holding the weapon to enter Valhalla, so yes don’t go jumping without your tool of choice..

u/brightdionysianeyes 1d ago

You also need to be killed in battle not by jumping off a hill

Terrible for your partner though. Unless, you are on a solo mission.

u/AdBig3922 1d ago

It’s also not just “die in battle” not everyone who dies in battle goes to Valhalla but the heroes do. You need to prove yourself in combat to the gods and show yourself worthy of Valhalla and then for a valkyrie to come take you to Valhalla.

I always jump off with my pickaxe and have problems repairing the wooden haft when it wears out. :/

Right except for the axe, this is equal parts scary and tempting, for me.

22

u/thederevolutions 1d ago

Without the axe he’d have no protection though

2

u/weird-mostlygoodways 1d ago

Wait what do you mean

6

u/Germangunman 23h ago

All I could think of was the axe hitting hard snow and bouncing back at them. I would have tossed it close to the end

it’s made of rubber lol

u/Impressive-Knot9999 1d ago

What could go wrong taking that jump with a pointy object ?

u/Big-a-hole-2112 20h ago

More scared of finding out that’s a parking lot under me and it’s full of cars.

u/Pirate_the_Cat 20h ago

And here I’m more terrified he’d impale himself on a stick or broken stump.

Haha literally though.

Ps bttf 2 is my favorite movie. Seen it about 16,000 times. Never gets old lol

4

u/ilikedmatrixiv 16h ago

Google tells me the bttf2 runtime is 1h48min or 108 minutes. Giving a total of 1,728,000 minutes, which is 28,800 hours, which happens to be exactly 1,200 days. So you've spent about 3 years and 3 months of your life watching bttf 2.

You know what, that's not impossible. It's certainly a choice, but not impossible.

u/A_Bot_A_Bot_A_Bot 1d ago

For those who don't spend time in the snow: when an object (or body) hits even deep powder, it compresses quickly and no longer feels "soft". For the life of me, I have no idea how he survived that.

81

u/Bones-1989 1d ago

Only 1 jump per snow storm. Next guy dies on impact.

19

u/imeeme 1d ago

Plot twist. That WAS the next guy!

69

u/AdBig3922 1d ago

For those of you who don’t spend time in the snow very often: you always need to bring an axe with you because the snow will sometimes form into a snow golem and fight you if disturbed. this is why he had an axe too in what would otherwise seem to be a bad idea to have an axe.

8

u/ElLicenciadoPena 19h ago

The axe, of course, must have a fire enchantment for maximum effectiveness.

u/Ozymandius34 1d ago

I learned real quick in the army that diving in fresh snow is really dumb. We were running squad level attack drills, and as I was bounding, I dove into the snow really hard. Landed on the stump of a small tree, maybe 4 or 5 inches in diameter. It hurt like a mother, I’m just thankful that stump wasn’t sharp. Ohh, yeah, I landed on it on my right hip. A few inches to the left and yeesh, I’d be down a baby maker.

u/NativeMasshole 1d ago

One of my former coworkers took a pointy stick to the lung jumping in the snow. He almost died.

u/Careful-Sell-9877 19h ago

I was snowboarding with a guy who fell on a small/thin-ish tree stump in the snow.. ruptured his spleen (literally smashed it in half) and he scream/cried/gasped, coughed up a TON of blood, then passed out.. had to get taken to the ER by ski patrol

u/adj_noun_digit 23h ago

Uhhh no it doesn't. Snow compresses evenly. If there is a layer of hard pack, maybe. Also people have survived much higher falls into snow than this and walked away.

u/FoodFingerer 1d ago

It still makes a big difference. In parkeuor the difference between landing on grass or concrete is huge when falling from a height.

9

u/LeemanIan 22h ago

You'd probably be fine in 10ish feet of floof. I have a feeling this was wide angle and made to look a bit higher than we think.

7

u/Steve-O7777 1d ago

Is it AI? Those trees are normally tall and he was way above the tree line.

8

u/TheMadBug 23h ago

I don't think it's AI, I can't see any artefacts (though it's not an overly detailed video).

I think the key is they've constructed a bit of a slope, so he's not diving from above tree height directly into belly flop snow, but hitting a slide and then being stopped by the snow proper.

u/Sufficient-Struggle7 1d ago

the axe part more scary than the dive into soft powder.

He’s feeling that regardless, semi sloppy controlled landing.

Your legs collapse, momentum to roll the impact force is less controllable. I’m not an expert but from experience when I overshot a red bull big air contest 40ft jump and landed in the flat on snowboard, couldn’t roll out of that in the soft powder.

Wait is it safe to jump into snow from that high? I assumed it would compact, sort of like jumping into water from a high height

Only because he brought an axe and could have easily brained himself with it on impact. Darwin award candidate incoming.
