Man peed way out of avalanche

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.

Homer Simpson would be proud.

lol ingenuity would have been pouring the beer on the snow and not waiting for it to turn it into piss. i realize piss is hotter but alchohol doesn't melt either.

Well.

I guess that sorta puts me into a piss-poor predicament.

Maybe....but there is water in it too so it might freeze? Piss was probably the better substance though since it contains salt, and mixing with water would make it difficult to freeze again perhaps...

Who cares which is better?

What a way to make an exit though! Might as well do it in a drunken stupor.

Beer freezes rather easy actually.

Also, piss would be able to melt more snow per volume than straight beer, because the temperature is going to be at least double.

Not to mention that you can piss up to and around 5 feet (estimating). Try throwing beer that far, its damn near impossible.

I hope that he returns to that spot each year and pisses his name in the snow to celebrate his life.

Maybe the beer company will get involved!

Since you mentioned that, I bet he could get some killer pay for doing a few commercials.
