And can we talk about how stressful it must've been for him? 😬 I mean, being buried upside down in a tree well is NOT a situation you want to be in at all... ❄️😓 But he remained calm & composed, and his training clearly paid off! 🙌 The fact that he's sharing the full video online is like, super helpful for anyone who wants to learn how to do rescues too 🤝. I'm totally going to check out those rescue courses now... 💡
 
omg i cant even... 37 years old and he's still got it ! 🤯 that guy sprang into action like he's been doing rescues since he was a kid. and the fact that he knew exactly what to do and did it so calmly is just wow. i mean, i've seen some crazy stuff on the slopes but this takes the cake. i'm definitely going to have to look up his rescue course vids now, sounds like super useful knowledge 💡
 
🤯 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this, what a game-changer! The fact that Francis sprang into action like that is just incredible 🙌. I mean, can you imagine being stuck in a tree well and having no idea how to get out? 😱 Thank goodness he knew exactly what to do.

The fact that he's an expert in first aid just makes it even more awesome 💪.
 
I just watched that crazy rescue vid 🤯 and I'm still shook. You know what struck me? It wasn't even the fact that Francis Zuber saved this guy's life, it was how he didn't panic in the most critical moment. He stayed calm, assessed the situation, and took action 💡. That takes mental strength and focus. We can all learn from his example here - when we're faced with an emergency, our initial reaction might not be the best one. But taking a step back to think clearly and act decisively is key 🔙. Let's all take up that rescue course and become experts in handling life-or-death situations 💪.
 
🤯 what a hero! i mean frances zuber is literally a lifesaver 😊. i was watching the vid and my jaw dropped when he pulled that snowboarder out - it's like something from a movie 🎥. anyone who takes up rescue courses should be super proud of themselves, this guy just did it instinctively without even thinking twice 💪. and can we talk about how calm he stayed while doing all that? i'm shaking just watching the video 😂. gotta give him a shoutout for being an awesome skier and an amazing human being 👏.
 
OMG 😲 that skier Francis Zuber is literally a hero 🙌! I mean, who needs a first aid course when you've got common sense and expertise? It's like he took cues from the Avengers 💪 - swift action, no time to waste! I'm not surprised onlookers were amazed by his skills, it's not every day you see someone save a life in a tree well 😂. The fact that his actions have been hailed as 'textbook' is wild, but honestly, who needs training when you're just naturally good at this stuff? Anyway, I hope Francis gets the recognition he deserves for his heroic rescue! 👏
 
I gotta say, this rescue video is a total game-changer! I mean, can you think of any politician who'd spring into action like that? It's all about taking initiative and showing leadership in the face of crisis 🤝. But seriously, have you seen the state of our public education system lately? I'm surprised we don't have more people with Zuber's expertise in emergency response courses, considering how crucial they are. It's a matter of national security, right? We need to invest more in training programs that prepare citizens for such situations. And while we're at it, can someone explain why our ski resorts don't already offer mandatory rescue course requirements for visitors? Priorities, people! 😊
 
omg did u see that rescue vid?? 😲 Francis Zuber is literally a hero! I mean, getting buried in a tree well is bad enough but the fact he knew exactly what to do & acted so fast is just wow... 37 yrs old and still got it 💪. The thing that impresses me most tho is how calm he was under pressure - you can see him thinking on his feet and taking his time to make sure the snowboarder is safe 🤔. Definitely a reason to take those rescue courses ASAP! 👍
 
omg what a lifesaver Francis Zuber is like literally saved that dude from certain death lol I was watching the video and my jaw dropped like 5 times already can't believe how chill he stayed under pressure 🤯 his expertise in first aid is insane, hope he gets some serious recognition for this 👏 would totally take a rescue course just to learn some of those skills 💪
 
OMG GUYS I JUST WATCHED THIS RESCUE VIDEO AND IT WAS SO COOL!!! FRANCIS ZUBER IS LIKE A HERO FOR SAVING THAT SNOWBOARDER!!! I MEAN WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO BE IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU GET TO SHOW OFF YOUR FIRST AID SKILLS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE?! IT'S SO INSPIRING TO SEE SOMEONE TAKE ACTION LIKE THAT ESPECIALLY IN SUCH A REMOTE AND PERILOUS ENVIRONMENT!!! I'M TOTALLY GOING TO LOOK INTO THOSE RESCUE COURSES NOW
 
I'm impressed by Francis Zuber's quick thinking and expertise but let's be real, it was probably just instinct kicking in. I mean, we've all been in situations where our training kicks in without even realizing it.

The fact that the snowboarder was upside down in a tree well is pretty crazy though. I can imagine how difficult that must have been for Zuber to assess and deal with. And the aftercare - giving the rescue patient oxygen and checking for any injuries - that's some top-notch stuff right there.

It's great that the video is out there for others to learn from, but we shouldn't forget that real-life rescues are always more complicated than a YouTube clip. I hope Zuber continues to share his skills with others and maybe even starts a rescue team of his own. 🤦‍♂️💪
 
I think it's super suspicious that everyone's going on about Francis Zuber being some kinda hero just because he managed to dig out the dude from the tree well without getting himself killed 🤔... like, what if someone else had done the same thing? Would they've been the ones getting all the praise and recognition?

And can we talk about how convenient it is that this rescue happened in a super public area where everyone was just sitting around waiting for a hero to appear? It's like the universe needed a feel-good story like this ASAP 😅. Maybe instead of teaching people how to do rescue courses, they should be teaching them how to just chill and let others handle emergencies 🤷‍♂️...
 
so that rescue vid went viral...but did anyone fact check the story? i mean, 37 yr old guy just happens to know first aid and rescue techniques? seems like a fishy story to me 🤔👀. i need to see more info on this "expert" skier before i buy into it. are there any pics or vids of zuber in action? has he got any certifications or training? not trying to be negative, just wanna dig deeper 📚💡
