Tom Murphy was having his holiday at the French ski resort. It was the last day and he wanted to make the most of it. Tom left his travelling companion sleeping off last night's beer and headed up the mountain alone. He ignored waring notices and ducked under a rope which blocked his way. He knew he was lost when the surroundings looked unfamiliar and there was no on in sight. He realised he was in an avalanche. The avalanche carried himhundreds of yards down. He tried to call for help but there was no signal. He hesitate whether ro jump or die. He had jump twice and was not dead. when he got nearer to the road and his phone hunted for signal. His last message was transmitted to his family. Tom was said to be lucky when he was rescued. He suffered hypothermia and his legs were numb because he had cracked his coccyx.
I think Tom wad impetuous by leaving his friend and headed up the mountain alone. He must be thinking of fun and adventure but did not thought of the dangers he might face alone as nobody knew where he was. It was when he realised he was in dangers, he then thought of his family members. Tom could have died the first time by jumping, but the snow cushioned his fall. He only suffered bruised limbs. The next time, was when he let go of a rope bolted to a rock. This time, his head smacked against a projecting rock, his body bounced off more rocks. He landed hard in snow. Pains shot up his righ tthigh and his legs had no feelings and would not move. His lower back hurt and his head throbbed, blood trickled down his scalp. However, Tom was not dead.
When Tom knew he might die, he tapped a farewell message into his phone. When there was signal, the message was transmitted to his family. Everyone wasworried about him. Luckily, Tom escaped death. Tom should actually check the weather and snow conditions before he set off. If he did, he would not have been injured. I think Tom did the right thing by jumping, instead of waiting for help. Nobody knew where he was and he could not communicate with anyone up in the mountain. If he had stayed and waited, he might have dies. Tom took the risk and jump down, where he could stand a chance to survive. He jump down where there is road, so that he could get help when people notice him. In the end, he got help from his friend. A rescue helicopter homed in on Tom's phone light and lifted him to safety
