- Pleas give a warm welcome to our Brand New show!
Towering above the Alps, Mont Blanc is a spectacular natural beauty. But it also has a darker, lethal side that attracts thrill seekers, extreme skiers and obsessed climbers from all over the world. They throw themselves against the mountain’s steep slopes, treacherous glaciers and vertiginous cliffs in a bid to conquer this most formidable natural challenge. When they fail, the consequences can be deadly. The only thing standing between them and certain death is the helicopter rescue squad of the PGHM (Peloton de Gendarmerie de Haute Montagne); an elite Alpine force trained for the world’s deadliest peaks. We ride along with the men and women who confront avalanches, blinding snowstorms, high winds, rockslides and sub-zero temperatures to rescue those who have fallen victim to the elements. Mountain Rescue delivers an experience that puts viewers on the top of the world and keeps them on the edge of their seats. - Zábava
everyone is saying the doctors are amazing but that pilot has inhuman skills to be able to land on slopped hills and hover for so long
Yeah they didn't even mention the pilot as part of the team 😂
"Who's flying the helicopter? I dunno, some guy.. We don't really talk to him."
@@dylanstandingalone watch the pilot is actually a mute and only communicates with grunts and gestures.
@@TriggK4T
Yeah like some fucking game protagonist from pre 2015, after that people magically gained the ability to speak
Not just that the air is thin in the alps. To control a heli at those high and cold altitude requires some super human skills. Including in winter storm conditions.
17:04 When a surgeon makes that face at you, you know your pretty screwed up.
The way he looks he is probably just some random dude
That face was so funny🤣
That dude is adorable.
:O "ooow"
He has to practice his poker face 😂
@@-fragile- He says "See you in 10 minutes in the OR (operating room)", so he's the surgeon lol, unless I didn't get the joke or something lol?
the pilots deserve more recognition the skill they have is mind blowing
I'm surprised they don't use coaxial helicopters for this like the KA-25 as they are much more stable.
@@rubiconnn to heavy. You need 2 of everything.
Or it’s simply competence that most helicopter pilots possess.
@@rubiconnn yeah, too heavy, too big, too expensive. They cannot have such huge blades in case they need to fly near cliffs. The H145 is already quite big compared to other rescue helicopters we use in the alps.
Imagine falling 300 meters down a mountain and you're fine
thank god snow exists amr
600m
@@rage_scorpio5494 My Step dad actually fell 400-800m and broke his leg and knee really bad (the leg bone had punctured the skin completely and his leg was bent backwards) but nothing else. He recalls the feeling of dying, and the different stages(out croppings) of mountain he hit.
cat moment
Done. What now?
At first i was like "surely these accidents happened days or weeks apart." But at the same time? Crazy
Well, prime skiing and paraskiing for this mountain is only a few weeks. Due to global warming, the time allowing these people during the "safest" time of the year shortens even more. I think they've had to cut down the legal safe time to 3 weeks? You've got risk-seekers to keep watch of and also filming crews for various movies amd documentaries. So yeah, I can fully believe this all happens at the same time because there are so many people on the mountain during this very short period of "safety"
@That Flippin Guy Amen
Getting crowded up there. Look at everest. Prime example.
@@adrianlove7424 “Global warming” 😂
@@JesusFriedChrist its not real amirite
That faint smile on the pilots face at 42:26 is absolutely amazing. He knows they’ve done it. Amazingggg.
42:50 dude must have had feather falling IV boots
Some say the abandoned rescuers are still in that mountain to this day.
best comment
It happened in Anapurna in 2019. Nimsdai, with the help of a Serpa, rescued a Chinese climber. The helicopter picked up Nims and the climber and they let the Serpa in the mountain. The insurance didn't cover the Serpa. Serpa was not in the condition to climb down to base camp, he was alive but exhausted from the rescue.
@@vasealis WTAF
@@vasealis Do you mean Sherpa?
The guys are worth their weight in gold
Lee Ryan I think they’re worth more than that. They’re risking their lives for people they don’t know.
And gals
These rescuers, pilots, radio operators, doctor, nursed, mechanics.......aren't just paycheck collectors! They love their work. They love the rush to go out there and save those lives. Just AMAZING human beings! Thank you!
A tourist back home : French are so annoying.
A tourist fell into a crevasse and get rescued by the free and best mountain rescue team in the world : VIVE LA FRANCE !
17:00 the guys reaction tho
Great show.
Awe-inspiring mountains. I live in Colorado and grew up in the mountains, but the Alps are a whole different animal.
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching!
having been at both of those places my self i can back that up i would take colorado over this any day though
I grew up and still live in Colorado as well and I couldn't agree more. I always thought that you couldn't get any better then Vail, Steamboat, Breckenridge, Aspen, etc. But then you see places like this an your just blown away
How the hell you manage to fall 600m and have NO injuries!
Snow
200cm of snow is how
p sure he had head trauma so is in delirium
Luck
On snow
The look on the guys face at 17:06 says it all 😂😯
"O000000h!!"
42:00 Jesus Christ. That was insane.
I wouldn't be surprised if those guys get free beers from all the people they save
And gals
Ok. So saying these are phenomenal individuals is an understatement!
Someone calls ,she says don't move WERE sending a rescue team ,,no messing around awesome people,👍👍👍👍
It has been said 100 times but, HUGE appreciation to the skills of the pilots! Of course respects to the whole rescue team but man the pilots are for sure the back-bone of the operation
OUch that mans face at 17:05. You know its bad
PGHM are legendary. There are no better mountain rescue units in the world.
Worked in Mont Genevre for a season and I have the upmost respect and admiration for these heroes.
Was invited to come see them practicing with their dogs. And the job they did every single morning flying up and securing the mountain with planned explosives to create avalanches.
Was amazing!
Me at the top of the mountain about to bomb down: Don't worry, the rescue people got me
They're all doing a great job. They are doing their best to save lives. May Allah give them all strength.
That’s one busy heli!
Love this series already , very well produced.
21:17 sunglasses underneath the visor. Just like a boss.
Snow glare is real.
Very well put together.
_Ready for another, please!_
Glad you enjoyed! As a special holiday treat we'll be launching an episode every day this week!
Imagine if the guy with severe head trauma didn't have his helmet on!!! Even though we can see blood, he's lucky to be alive. I think......... The helmet overall, did its job. The impact would have killed him instantly without it. Keep making these videos. I'll learn more about foolish people and the angels that want to go and rescue them. if the snow outside my window is a foot, maybe two feet high, I'm not going out that day so this much snow is my worst nightmare and I'm very claustrophobic so I'd probably be in a state of panic if I fell into that narrow crevase. Oh lordy, stuff of my nightmares for real. I don't even go into elevators unless I absolutely have too. Claustrophobia is my worst nightmare.
Elevators. My worst nightmare.
GOD BLESS THESE PRECIOUS PRECIOUS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLES.
The real MVP is the heli pilot! Juggling so many different rescues at the same time and making sure they got everything done as fast as possible.
0:07 a skier has fallen into a ravine in LEGO City! *hEy!!* Build a rescue helicopter and set off to the rescue!
A MAN HAS FALLEN INTO THE SNOW IN LEGO CITY.
God bless the rescuers. I'll stick with making a snowman in my yard.
Emotional seeing the compassion of the rescuers. Good stuff.
I bruised or broke a rib up there on my first trip boarding. Sheepishly hobbled back to the van myself and self medicated rum for two weeks.
The rescuers, the doctors, everyone in this video did a great job. They took a huge risk to safe others.
41:58 it's beyond me how unconscious one can be to climb such a technical mountain... without ensuring he can get back down safely.
What was he planning to, jumping on a parachute from there?
And that laughter after they succesfully picked him made my day. The satisfaction.
maybe part of the equipment he needed was being carried by the guy who fell down
@@davidelinmortal Yeah, or maybe he was planning to ski down the slope, I saw the skis attached to his backpack.
But still, you can't count 100% on it if you're sane enough.
Rappelling is a lot easier than climbing a mix of rock and ice.
lol wtf is this comment, literally this episode is about them rescuing his partner who fell off the face they were climbing. Like saying someone who climbs a mountain, has an accident loses their equipment and cant get down safely is stupid because they weren't prepared to climb the mountain? Like do you think he should solo descend, even if he still has suitable gear to do that with, that's just about the stupidest thing and most dangerous thing you can do, won't be anyone to call mountain rescue when he falls to the bottom like his friend.
@@T3nEighty Sir, they never mentioned the person saved lost his equipment. They simply said he wasn't technically prepared to climb down safely which made me assume he went there without it.
@@trumpemendous2330 it sounded like he couldn’t safely do it alone. since the fall was unexpected, he may have been counting on his partner to work with him to get back down. a risky chance to take but not exactly unreasonable either
Amazing show! Great stories, fast pace, great team work! Those rescue officers are incredible! Off the chart pilots!
Professional job .I love Chamonix. Real challenge
i watch ths the idk 7th time or so. I absolute love it and couldnt wish more for a ne season
I felt the ski instructor’s pain from across the screen
Yeah, when they said she was given morphene to fight the pain, I felt like I needed it too..
What an incredible programme. I'm in awe of the entire rescue team of the PGHM who are both highly skilled and incredibly brave. They deserve medals and the pilot is a legend. The film makers deserve an award. I got caught in an avalanche in the vallee blanche as a teenager. It's a cold, beautiful and very scary place...
Head like a f****** ORANGE
This is pure gold! Great series!
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for Watching!
thats why i avoid doing winter sports like that. Huge respect goes out to those Mountain Rescue Guys!
Wonderful skilled people helping save lives, I have much respect and admiration for them all 🙏🏽
Great respect for everyone who rescued lives! If someone believes in God they are can see real guardian angels on the earth!
All these people who worked for the rescues are angels. May God bless them
Knowing that highly trained men, and determined to save other human lives, gives me a beautiful feeling of brotherhood, which we often forget ....
In France the "Gendarmerie Nationale" is a part of French army, they are highly trained.
The rescue teams & hospital staff are beyond amazing.
What a badass pilot/aircrew
These finely tuned rescue machines.
Risking their lives to save strangers.
#not in it for the money.
How fantastic is the pilot and rescuers Thank You all for your excellent service
These guys are excellent heroes!!! Love their gear better than any cape and their 🚁 better than any 🚀!!!
All these persons from the helicopter to hospital are heroes
I never thought my Francais would be of use in the USA but here we are! Awesome teamwork EMS! Wow😳😱😍
Love how pilots look absolutely calm and chilling as if on vacation with a cocktail in hand
Parabéns a todos dessa equipe de busca e resgate.
Reinaldo da Luz São Paulo 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
31:39 Captain Vegas... probably a professional gambler... :) Great documentary!
Real job for real people, great people. As I said real people.
These people ard just NEXT LEVEL!
Applause 👏👏👏 for the rescue team. Good jobs👍. Regards 🏴🇵🇱
Brass balls 😎🍻🍻 absolutely love it !!! ✌🏻 you guys are great 🇺🇸
Seriously, deepest respect for these men!
Waewaw these rescuers amaizingggggg peopleeeeeeeeee.
God bless you !
Stayin in Chamonix for one winter was the highlight of my life so far, minus the end. Got a ride of one of these fora blown knee after I skinned into the backcountry... These guys are amazing. Even though none spoke English they calmed me very well and communicated well enough
42:00 what a beautiful rescue
I see footballers kicking a ball around and pop stars grinding their hips, all for obscene amounts of money. But these rescuers and doctors are the REAL heroes....
WoW what amazing heroes they are , it gives hope on humanity when u see that this kind of doctors exsist!! as a skier myself i cant find a word to tell how much i appriciate this guys and their collegues all around the world.
Holy shit, the pilot is like next next level. That last scene is just amazing. Obviously everyone else is amazing as well but that is next level flying skills.
Thank you for all you do God bless you all
Amazing work, both by the production and the amazing hero’s risking so much to help people in need.
cant be nervous just chill you will jack the minerals, outside fixing always better if you can keep warmth and equipment
super series, excited to watch it all :)
You guys are real heroes 🦸♂️ salute from a doctor 👨⚕️
Amazing and skilled team of professionals. This kind of guys should really earn the big bucks. They put their lives in danger to save other people!! Well done guys!!
Love these documentaries keep up the good work.
Those fellows are real Heroes!
They need to install thermal imaging cameras.. might help located the avalanche survivors
They need to regulate where ppl go there or something to control so many rescues! Insane!
The engineers that built such an amazing machine that it is capable of being piloted in this manner by a normal human being are the most impressive people involved. The pilots simply possess competence that any experienced pilot should possess.
L take
@@IStMl ?
Excellent series 👌
These shows drive me nuts. The operators are all quite incredible.
Wow, that was amazing, these guys are heroes!
Imagine if the guy with severe head trauma didn't have his helmet on!!! Even though we can see blood, he's lucky to be alive. I think.........
Impact was mainly to the face, where the helmet does not provide protection.
Watching these episodes makes me want to also be a mountain rescues personal as well. I think I'm going to sign up for some classes.
WOW, that's crazy. Glad everyone made it out alive and well. Maybe skiing in the Alps or skiing anywhere isn't a good idea.
you guys are all AMAZING
eyes is like think about it before he went down the mountain.
God bless them!
The reaction of the doctor with blue scrub after seeing the open tibia fracture is gold AHAHAHAHAHA 17:00
Nice vídeo and shows the true heros
Awesome guys!
Just for reference, 600m Is the height of the KDLT radio tower.
Incredible.
Love this show, just found it and ik addicted. My only complaint is that they don't show the injuries hahah
Besides the incredible team the Pilot is something else His the one that had to thing on everyone else
actual real life heros
The best video i have ever whatched
THESE PEOPLE ARE HEROS
the constant communication is crazy
