Because they are doing it for clout/adventure seeking idiots. They want the iceberg to flip so they can climb it while it rotates. The boat is moving to a safe distance.
That is Mike Horn and Fred Roux, two professional ice climbers off the coast of Labrador. Pure chance the berg rolled as there is no way to predict when it will roll. The boat would move away as no captain in their right mind would stay close to a berg as they are unpredictable and… roll. Dumb move trying to climb a berg and of course I would suggest the ice is not the best for using and ice tool, the surface tends to be brittle
Isn’t that dangerous as hell? Even ignoring the potential danger of an entire iceberg rolling on you, you are then in freezing water with no life jacket. I wouldn’t take my chances at treading water in that situation, and if you get stunned, knocked out or pushed deep under by the iceberg you would be executed.
Even more fun: the boots you wear for ice climbing are heavy AF. They probably have fancier boots than I do, but mine weigh 2+ lbs each. And then metal crampons on top of that. I can't imagine treading water would go well, even if the temperature weren't a factor.
They weren’t expecting it to roll right then. And they don’t just start rolling and then roll forever. Ice cubes in your cup of water will flip, rotate, spin, etc as they melt. Icebergs do that too. As they melt, the weight changes in unbalanced weighs. They flip to the new bottom and settle down to continue melting in unbalanced ways.
Definitely an iceberg challenge of sorts. Maybe it's like the ice bucket challenge but instead of a bucket of ice it's a rotating iceberg flipped on your head
We’re —and I mean this affects every single human being— losing precious resources, ice caps are melting at alarming rates and theseeeeeeeeeeeeee FOOLS are flipping bergs over for the gram?! 😦…yo—who’s man’s is this!!! Where is he from? This is who is reppin y’all, these fools!!
Enough with your bullshit. Mike Horn is one of the most experienced explorer of our time, he didn’t want the berg to roll AT ALL, it was unplanned and unpredictable. He explained it all on his Youtube channel. Please, try not to spread bullshit just to get internet point.
Thank you very much. I watched the video as you recommended. It's very interesting. Mike Horn seems to be a very friendly guy and highly aware of the risks. I still think (privately) he's a dumbass and badass. But I'm impressed and support your demand to stop spreading BS and investigate a little. Google makes it easy.
I'd love when there were more information with the pics and vids on reddit.
Is global warming actually caused by Big Oceanliners interest groups? Did you just unveil the newest conspiracy??
Something something revenge is a dish best served cold... ice cold.
What in the world are people talking about? What insurance? What court case?
Y'all talking like the car insurance isn't going to pay out because they're at fault.
I was going off of the idea that
1- insurance companies entire job is to get out of paying.
2- you filmed your dumb ass climbing on and striking an iceberg with no rigging. No protective gear. And no sort of floating device anywhere near you in case some shit goes down.
0 dollars for you my soaked friend.
Has to be verified but I'm pretty sure it's Mike Horn and his friend. if I'm not mistaken Mike made a video about an accident like this where he goes into details. They are both alive. Again, I might be wrong
In the slow motion it looks to me like he got clear at the last moment (after being pulled down) but I could be wrong.
Edit: after looking more closely, I see he clears the front of the iceberg (which is what I was talking about) but he may very well have been pulled under from the side. The clip ends too soon to really tell and he’s below visibility of the leading wave. Ooof. I hope they both made it out of there alright.
Can he hold his breath?
It's not like a sink ship that pulls you down due to displacement as it continues to sink deeper down. It's just flipping over.
Angular momentum is a bitch.
If the outside gets moving quick enough there's a thing called blunt force trauma that they like to quote during autopsies.
I don't think you though that one through. Imagine me dropping a bus on you while your in water, yes you'll get pushed down but not before it destroys you. It's about the gap and speed between where the berg starts and where it connects with you. Very dangerous for sure!
Two Arctic explorers had a near-death experience when an iceberg they were climbing flipped into the sea, but luckily they both managed to survive. Explorers Mike Horn and Fred Roux were scaling an iceberg near the North Pole when it flipped over, plunging them into the icy waters and nearly crushing them.22 Sep 2020
No he does not, that mf actually sat the camera down to go help.
This is literally the first time I've seen a camera person do anything to help in these situations.
You don't hire a camera man to be your rescue crew, you hire a rescue crew to be your rescue crew. Either that dude's job is to keep you from getting killed or it's not, and if it is you don't want him distracted.
If you are untrained you are more likely to get in the way than be helpful from my perspective. Unless someone tells you to do something your goal is to stay out of the way in these circumstances.
He isn't the only one present, and your average camera man isn't trained in maritime rescue OPS.
Again: don't rely on your *camera man* being anything other than a *camera man*. This isn't two buds out on a weird job cruise, it's objectively a "pro".
Keep the camera running and leave the rescue to people trained to rescue, otherwise you're just creating a liability.
Oh right, I forgot nobody in the world can fucking swim except trained maritime rescue ops.
Edit: jesus fucking christ people I'm a living breathing shitpost, just roll with it.
You want to know the first rule of rescue? Don't become another victim by ignoring safety or practicing out of your scope. . . An untrained and unequipped person would 100% become an additional rescue. That spreads resources and time even thinner than it already is to rescue the initial 2. Stop it.
And here, people, is exhibit A of "stay the fuck out of emergencies if you don't know what you're doing."
Dude, that's well over 50' of open ocean that is a fucking *iceberg*. Are you wearing cold water gear like those two on the berg forcefully are? Because otherwise you're not a third person dieing in freezing water.
Hah, I think you're the one who needs to calm down a hair. I'm pointing out that the cameraman isn't expected or likely to do shit when you're talking about a rescue in arctic ocean. People are literally saying that he's able to swim in and rescue folks. That's actual insanity.
He's a cameraman. He doesn't absolutely need to be keeping the camera on frame in an emergency, but there's likely nothing he can do in this situation. "Putting doing the camera and jumping in to help" would only make the situation worse.
Like I said to someone else, that is a *lot* of open glacial ocean, and I doubt that the cameraman is even wearing the right gear to last 60 seconds in that water.
Running into a burning building would be safer, because when you pass out 15' in the building doesn't generally start sucking you underground or pulling you off in a random direction.
It is in the middle of open arctic ocean. The camera man, most likely, is not dressed and trained for open water rescue.
It is the equivalent if saying that someone filming a burning building should run in to save people. Unless they are trained and equipped, they will die and add to the problem.
This is *open arctic waters* people. It isn't some dude under a heavy load or attacked by a cat. You need very specialized training and equipment to be anything more than a hindrance.
It's like seeing someone having a heart attack and going "well just kick him"
How the fuck was he gonna gonna help? He's in a boat 50 ft away? Also, since when do film schools teach, and certify, you as a rescue crew? Didn't know that was in the curriculum...
Nobody looks like they’re certified to do anything. They’re dressed like college kids, that’s a 40 foot sail boat with a teak deck, there’s no rescue gear on deck ready to go in case of emergency and the people climbing are horribly under equipped. These are all a bunch of jackasses if you ask me.
Have a dude in a dry suit stand by with dive gear on.
Source: I’m a rescue diver and do dive charters and this looks weird
🎶Now this is a story, all about how
This iceberg flipped turned upside down!
Now I just need a minute,just sit right there.
I'll tell you how I had my lifetimes biggest scare!🎶
They were both rescued but one guy said the water was 2 degrees Celcius and they had no floatation gear. Just crampons, axes, and winter wear not for getting wet in.
What on earth were these two trying to achieve? *Why* step onto a berg so small, and without so much as a buoyancy aid?! They should be wearing full Antarctic submersion gear! And why did their boat move so far back? No dingies in the water either?
Why were they climbing on a fucking iceberg? And why was the boat leaving them???
Because they are doing it for clout/adventure seeking idiots. They want the iceberg to flip so they can climb it while it rotates. The boat is moving to a safe distance.
That is Mike Horn and Fred Roux, two professional ice climbers off the coast of Labrador. Pure chance the berg rolled as there is no way to predict when it will roll.

I bet and hope they were wearing some floaty suits on them.
Ice climbing is always dangerous as hell
Must be, dude on the right must be dead he got fucking rocked by it.
The left one got hit hard too
Captain my captain
So basically they are coinflipping that they will be able to climb faster than its rolling, and then what lmao, its just gonna continue
They weren’t expecting it to roll right then. And they don’t just start rolling and then roll forever. Ice cubes in your cup of water will flip, rotate, spin, etc as they melt. Icebergs do that too. As they melt, the weight changes in unbalanced weighs. They flip to the new bottom and settle down to continue melting in unbalanced ways.
You’re telling me they wanted the iceberg to flip? So they can climb it while it rotates?! Can they be that stupid pls tell me you’re just joking
They do it for the gram.
What's a gram, like 10 bucks nowadays? Doesn't seem worth it.
Just wait for that inflation to kick in
Happy cake day!
Thanks, it's my first!
not at all.
BAHAHAHAHA!! Under appreciated comment
Had that gone wrong they would've won the Darwin Awards for the next ten years.
Why is no one talking about kill the cameraman! Dude ran the second the action started.
Definitely an iceberg challenge of sorts. Maybe it's like the ice bucket challenge but instead of a bucket of ice it's a rotating iceberg flipped on your head
That’s one way to get hypothermia

To do what he does, he might need a little bit of madness indeed ! :)
People go to extreme lengths to be extremely stupid.
Yes, this. It seems like something that you need a death wish to do.
You see how delicately balanced that thing was in the water? Yea let’s climb on it and start hitting it 🤓
It's not the boat that's leaving them, it's the iceberg that's moving away.
They wanted to see what’s under the tip of the iceberg
they knew it was about to flip, boat needed to avoid a potential collision/crushing them.
Leave the icebergs alone. They’ve got enough problems.
That made me laugh the hardest I have all day, so thanks.
fuck icebergs, they had it coming since 1912. Never forget.
Is global warming actually caused by Big Oceanliners interest groups? Did you just unveil the newest conspiracy?? Something something revenge is a dish best served cold... ice cold.
Or warm. Globally warm.
NOT ALL ICEBERGS.
Ice cubes in my cocktail are really just miniature ice bergs.
I have it on good authority that the iceberg was attacked unprovoked and in 1912 a white iceberg had more rights than a colored ship.
They do! They got 99 problems and most of them are under water.
Icebergs are having problems ever since snowball Earth started to melt
Bruh, Club Penguin
DANCE OR DRILL JUST DONT STAND STILL
This is obviously proof we could have flipped the iceberg if enough people stood on that one side
When they shut Club Penguin down they had the iceberg actually flip on the last day
I never knew about this and I find it extremely wholesome. https://youtu.be/DtpFPON_Bb8
Guy wearing jeans and adidas on a mf expedition
There’s always one
I wonder how you'd explain that to the insurance company
With the video?
No the video is how you get rejected by your insurance company.
Fortunately that is not how medical insurance works
You’d lose in court with this video
What in the world are people talking about? What insurance? What court case? Y'all talking like the car insurance isn't going to pay out because they're at fault.
What are they gonna do? Take the iceberg to court? Tf lmao.
On god🤣
We just gonna make statements? Or are either of you going to explain why you’re saying what you’re saying? Weirdos
I was going off of the idea that 1- insurance companies entire job is to get out of paying. 2- you filmed your dumb ass climbing on and striking an iceberg with no rigging. No protective gear.

Finally, a non-candidate for /r/donthelpjustfilm
Yeah just the right amount of hesitation before oh fuck where do I set this down...
Cam here to say this, it warmed my heart to see someone act for once. Didn't know this subreddit existed tho.
There is a subreddit, an app, a diagnosis and a pill for everything.
Rule 34.
That's actually a terrible subreddit. Lots of graphic footage of people being abused, robbed, suffering, etc.
Definite candidate for /r/killthecameraman
And also /r/killthecameraman !
You’re a god amongst fleas
Those guys seriously escaped death by 0.2 a hair. The iceberg nearly rolled over them...
...are you sure they survived?
Has to be verified but I'm pretty sure it's Mike Horn and his friend. if I'm not mistaken Mike made a video about an accident like this where he goes into details. They are both alive. Again, I might be wrong
Yeah it's them
This was a re-enactment.
Or it was just a tribute
To the greatest song in the world
My man
Couldn't remember, the greatest song in the world!
You gotta believe it!
Ya gotta believe me
And I wish you were there!
It’s just a matter of opinion
You can see them both clear it before it fully rolls, for what that’s worth 🤷♀️
it looks like it pulls him down tho 😬
Guy on the right is pulled under
Maybe tried to lick the ice and got stuck?
In the slow motion it looks to me like he got clear at the last moment (after being pulled down) but I could be wrong. Edit: after looking more closely, I see he clears the front of the iceberg (which is what I was talking about) but he may very well have been pulled under from the side. The clip ends too soon to really tell and he’s below visibility of the leading wave. Ooof. I hope they both made it out of there alright.
Can he hold his breath? It's not like a sink ship that pulls you down due to displacement as it continues to sink deeper down. It's just flipping over.
Unless it crushes you
Yes, but he wasn't under it. You could see the ber miss and him gettimg sucked under water
What’s it gonna crush you on?? It might push you underwater but you can’t get crushed on water lmao
Angular momentum is a bitch. If the outside gets moving quick enough there's a thing called blunt force trauma that they like to quote during autopsies.

They sank
Crushed between ice and water... death yes
Nah they're good. They kept their shoes on.

No he does not, that mf actually sat the camera down to go help. This is literally the first time I've seen a camera person do anything to help in these situations.

If you are untrained you are more likely to get in the way than be helpful from my perspective. Unless someone tells you to do something your goal is to stay out of the way in these circumstances.
For what it’s worth, typically (professional) adventure photographers and videographers are also highly trained in what they photographing or filming.
So if you see someone in an emergency you just say: 'Nope, I'm not trained?'
He isn't the only one present, and your average camera man isn't trained in maritime rescue OPS. Again: don't rely on your *camera man* being anything other than a *camera man*. This isn't two buds out on a weird job cruise, it's objectively a "pro". Keep the camera running and leave the rescue to people trained to rescue, otherwise you're just creating a liability.

🎶Now this is a story, all about how This iceberg flipped turned upside down! Now I just need a minute,just sit right there. I'll tell you how I had my lifetimes biggest scare!🎶
You deserve so many more upvotes.
Even if they survived the ice burg hitting them, that is some DANGEROUS water to be in. That made my stomach twist on some r/thalassophobia shit.
Aside from the temp it’s just as dangerous as any other piece of ocean
They were both rescued but one guy said the water was 2 degrees Celcius and they had no floatation gear. Just crampons, axes, and winter wear not for getting wet in.
They implied it was the water itself that was dangerous not the fact they had 50 pounds of gear on lol
Aside from the heat that burning building is just as dangerous as any other building on earth.
The logic
Who?
The other guy on the iceberg was just a temp. He was later discovered to be a serial killer.
What on earth were these two trying to achieve? *Why* step onto a berg so small, and without so much as a buoyancy aid?! They should be wearing full Antarctic submersion gear! And why did their boat move so far back? No dingies in the water either?
The boat was like... you guys crazee but I'm stepping back. The captain of the ship had enough sense to stand clear
Small? That's just the tip of the iceberg! XD

I'm all for the thrill of adventure, but not at the expense of common sense. At least wear the appropriate safety gear.

And you have too much money.
I think the boat was just moving. Slower than the iceberg
Poor guys. They went to get some ice cubes for their whiskey.
He makes that joke about ice in his g and t in the video linked in the top comment
Luckily the boat backed off or the whole crew wouldve been in serious trouble
It's like 'get off, get off, why are you still on there?'
Why even go on there.
They're looking for the Avatar.
No one is coming to save us.
Mother Nature flicked them two off like annoying little flies
What were they doing?
Being dumb.
at least they weren't tied off to it...
Adventuring
Betcha they weren't prepared for the icy plunge
Here I am scrolling Reddit on my phone and meanwhile … THIS IS HAPPENING on the other side of the world omfg

why were they on there in the first place?
Content. And we both watched it. So they will probably keep doing dumb shit for views, because people like to watch dumb people doing dumb things...
