Sheesh! That was hairy. I don't think that was a planned fall or rescue. They just happened to have the helmet cam running and just happened to come upon the guy right away.
They finish with telling you to "Ski with a buddy". But... what if the buddy in back falls into the tree well? The guy in front doesn't realize it until he's a quarter mile down the slope!
What I can take away from this is... skiing in an area where the snow is deep and the trees are smaller is DEADLY! I'd just plain tell people to stay away from those areas.
