I'm totally getting on board with those rescue courses now, it's like, you never know when you'll need them 💡. This incident is like, such a great reminder to be prepared and stay safe on the slopes. I mean, we all love hitting the slopes, but accidents can happen, and it's good to be ready.

🤔 I mean, what a crazy situation! The fact that Francis Zuber spotted someone in trouble and sprang into action is pretty impressive. 🙌 It's awesome that he stayed calm under pressure and helped the trapped snowboarder until help arrived.

What really gets me though is how it highlights the risks of participating in snow sports.

It's also cool to see how Francis' actions have inspired people and are being hailed as heroic. It's moments like these that remind us of the power of human kindness and bravery ❤️.
 
OMG 🤯 just saw this video of that dude Francis Zuber saving a snowboarder who got stuck in a tree well! Like, what even is a tree well?! I'm shaking thinking about how close he came to losing someone's life. He's literally the ultimate hero 👏 and his selfless act is giving me LIFE 💖. Can we please take notes from this guy and learn some rescue skills ASAP?! This whole situation was so intense 🤯, but it just goes to show that quick thinking can save lives.

This is just another case of someone getting lucky, right? I mean, it's a miracle Francis Zuber happened to be in the right place at the right time. Can't say I'm surprised he reacted quickly though, probably had some basic training under his sleeve. Not sure why this guy's story is being hailed as 'textbook example'... like we've all been waiting for someone to spring into action when their friend gets stuck upside down in a tree well? It's just basic human decency, you know? And what about the snowboarder? Were they even prepared for this kind of situation? This whole thing feels like a PR stunt to me 🤔
 
omg what a huge lifesaver that guy Francis Zuber 🤯 he must've had super chill instincts to spot someone in trouble like that from a distance! i mean, getting stuck upside down in a tree well is crazy enough, but without him stepping in, who knows how long it would've taken for help to arrive 🕰️ anyone know if the snowboarder was seriously hurt or just shaken up? and btw, rescue courses are literally lifesavers – we should all take them if we plan on hitting the slopes regularly 😊
 
I'm surprised people are making a big deal about this guy saving a snowboarder in a tree well... like it's some kind of rare occurrence or something 🤷‍♂️. I mean, come on, if you're a skier or snowboarder, you gotta know how to do basic first aid and rescue stuff - it's not rocket science! And honestly, I'm kinda annoyed that this guy is getting all the attention for doing what anyone with half a brain would've done in the same situation 😒. Not trying to diminish the guy's heroism or anything, but it just seems like basic common sense? 🤔
