92% of people who get trapped upside down in tree wells survive with prompt medical attention! 
The odds are still against us, but having training and being prepared can make all the difference 
. I mean, think about it... Francis Zuber's reaction time was around 1-2 minutes after spotting the stranded snowboarder, which is super impressive considering he had to act fast without knowing how deep the well was! 
That's like pulling a person out of a pool without looking at the water level 
.
But what really gets me is how calm and collected the skier was when he saw his friend in trouble. It's like he knew exactly what to do in that split second! 
His quick thinking literally saved a life... I mean, can you imagine the guilt or sadness if something had gone wrong? 
Anyway, it's definitely a good reminder for all us outdoor enthusiasts to be prepared and take those rescue courses. Safety first, people! 
. i mean, if i were in his shoes (no pun intended) and saw someone struggling like that, i'd probably freak out too 
.
! I mean, can you even imagine being stuck upside down in that tree well? It's like something out of a horror movie or something 
? It's not like you'd find someone doing that out of the goodness of their heart... but at the same time, it's a pretty heroic thing to do 
.
. Maybe there's more to Zuber's story than meets the eye 
?
Fast response times can be the difference between life and death!
but nope, he chose to act fast and save the day! That's the kind of quick thinking we should all strive for in emergency situations. I'm definitely taking notes on how to be more like Francis Zuber - that guy's got some serious rescue skills 
And it's not just the skiing skills that saved the day, but also his training and experience.
I'm definitely inspired to look into taking up some rescue courses myself. Who knows when we might need to save someone? 
. i'm definitely taking this as a motivation to sign up for some rescue courses myself! 
! I'm seriously impressed, dude was calm as can be under all that pressure. Reminds me of those old-school action movies where the heroes would jump into action without hesitation... anyway, it's crazy how quick thinking can save lives like this 
! But at the same time, it's also kinda wild that we need to have these kinds of situations happen for people to learn about being prepared and taking rescue courses... like, what happened in the past? Did people just sit around while others froze to death? 
It's a weird mix of admiration for Zuber's heroism and cringe-worthy thoughts about our collective lack of preparedness 
.
. I've had some close calls on the slopes before and it's always good to know what to do in that kind of situation, so kudos to Francis for spreading the word 
i mean, i know he was just doing what anyone would do in that situation but still, talk about a hero! 
I mean, seriously, how many times do we need to see this kind of thing happen before people take up those rescue courses? It's like we're all waiting for someone else to save us instead of being prepared ourselves. 
Zuber's cool under pressure and all, but let's be real, most of us would've frozen or panicked if we were in that situation... 
It's not just about knowing what to do, it's also about staying calm under pressure. Like, think about it - if you're in a situation like that, your brain is already racing and it's hard to think clearly. But someone who's been trained to stay calm can make all the difference.
