Francis Zuber's reaction was insane! I mean, who can react that fast and save someone trapped upside down? 
And then he takes it to the next level by teaching others how to do it too? Mind. Blown.
. It's crazy to think about how one wrong move or delayed reaction could've been fatal. But because of people like Francis, we have a second chance 
. Let's give it up for this hero! 
But then comes this other skier Francis Zuber and he's like a total hero, literally saving lives with his quick thinking. His actions are def textbook example for rescue techniques and now people are talking about taking training courses so they can be prepared if something like this happens again. It's a huge reminder to always stay safe while skiing, bc accidents happen 
. I'm totally adding that to my bucket list, being able to help someone in need like that is the ultimate rush!
. It's like something from a movie! Francis Zuber's reaction is so on point - it's clear he knew exactly what to do in that situation 
.
. You never know when you might need to step in and help someone in a tight spot. It just goes to show how quickly things can turn around when you're prepared and have the right skills 
.
. It's always a sobering reminder of the risks we take when hitting the slopes 
.
what's going on in the world? Someone gets stuck upside down in a tree well and you'd think it's gonna be a real nightmare for them... but nope! Some other skier comes along and saves the day with crazy quick reflexes. I mean, can't we just have one good news story for once? 
But seriously, this is still super sketchy and I'm all about being prepared in case of emergencies. Those tree wells are no joke, btw... 
I'm glad Francis Zuber was there to show us all how it's done - I don't think any of us would've known what to do if we were in his shoes (or skis, rather). 
And honestly, it's kinda refreshing to see someone take charge like that - no fuss, no muss. Just pure rescue magic. 
! As someone once said, "Heroes are made by the path they choose not the power to the throne" 
. and btw, why do ppl need training courses for this kinda thing? like, can't they just wing it & hope 4 the best? 
I was just thinking, have you guys ever stopped to think about what's going through a rescuer's mind during an emergency like that? Like, Francis Zuber had literally seen something go down from afar and then just... acted 
It's also super inspiring to see someone stepping up and showing others how it's done. Training courses would be a great idea - who knows, maybe it'll prevent some similar situations in the future? 
.
This guy Francis Zuber, I mean what's his name again?
