Bunch of effin' slednecks. Okay, let's look at the facts, here. A) The avalanche danger was high that day B) Despite thinking he could outrun the avalanche (stated by Bronson Butler in the video), he was not wearing a beacon C) He has a 5-month-old at home Darwin went easy on you that day. One recurring theme I've seen in survival stories like this? "I almost always wear a beacon, but I wasn't that day. BS. That is just an excuse used to make yourself look like less of an idiot. By all rights, he should have been a lesson to others that day and there's no denying that.

jackasses...plain and simple...no beacon with considerable to high avalanche forecast...read the avalanche report...know before you go...this idiot and his buddies will not be so lucky next time...oh yeah, i would not let my "buddies" even think about going out there with the avi forecast being what it is, but then again they wouldnt do that to me either, thats why we are friends...because we care about each other. Did he say something about out running it??? What a moron! What a bunch of morons!

"Black usually wears an avalanche beacon, but was not wearing one on Sunday." Usually doesn't quite cut it. He got lucky this time. People should ALWAYS wear their beacons.
