What was the helicopter for at the end, was he hurt or just to shook up to carry on skiing?

Yeah, having not fallen in a crevasse this far I can’t really judge. But looked to me as good of a fall and rescue as you can get.

Looks like a textbook crevasse rescue in the real world, fortunately with plenty of bodies around to haul and help. Reinforces the point that you really have no idea what's under your feet a lot of the time you're stood on a glacier, in the same way that looking at late-season photos of glaciers you've crossed in June can be quite sobering.
