Man Pees His Way Out Of Avalanche

Quote:
A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking 60 bottles of beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.

Rescue teams found Richard Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain path four days after his Audi car was buried in the Slovak Tatra mountains.

He told them that after the avalanche, he had opened his car window and tried to dig his way out.

But as he dug with his hands, he realised the snow would fill his car before he managed to break through.

He had 60 half-litre bottles of beer in his car as he was going on holiday, and after cracking one open to think about the problem he realised he could urinate on the snow to melt it, local media reported.

He said: "I was scooping the snow from above me and packing it down below the window, and then I peed on it to melt it. It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there."

Parts of Europe have this week been hit by the heaviest snowfalls since 1941, with some places registering more than ten feet of snow in 24 hours.
How clever.

Plus I suppose the beer would freeze, since it's not as warm ..

I don't know though, I'm not an expert on this subject

Who would have thought that drinking massive amounts of booze and peeing on things would save your life one day? What an inspiration to college students everywhere

Urine would be warmer, but beer contains alcohol, which has a lower freezing point than water. I suspect that that amount of beer would have done the job a lot faster than waiting for the beer to pass through his system. But his way was probably more entertaining.

That's delightful, lol. I'll remember that one if I ever get stuck in an avalanche.
