Crevasses are usually easily to see and navigate, but snow bridges can be a weak layer across crevasseses that are unnoticeable until it's too late. This team of quick thinking Sherpa's pull out this Everest climber who broke through this snow bridge.
Luckily, he didn't drop far and only suffered a broken finger.
This occurred above the Khumbu Icefall somewhere before Camp 2 on the South side of Everest.
