A channel named Vicious Videos shared a horrible video on their Twitter page, projecting a ski accident. They captioned it with, “Taken”, which depicted the exact incident in one word. Evidently, two or more people were skating through the snow of an impregnable mountain. One of them unknowingly reached the edge of the snow and, within the blink of an eye, the chunk collapsed, engulfing the man. And when his partners reached the spot, there was no trace of him.

ZERO sympathy for people who do dumb shit, especially in dumb places and get in trouble. Common sense people, it's a real thing.
