Two things, firstly thanks for posting a link to the original non-advert vid.
Secondly, for anyone who doesn't want to read through the full discription here's the key sentance regarding Steve456's comment:
"He had a Black Diamond Avalung on, but as you can tell from the video while he's talking as he's dropping in, it wasn't in his mouth to start. He tried to shove it in the instant of starting to get sucked down, but it didn't stay in fully during his ragdoll descent. It was just off to the corner of his mouth he said, and he definitely got some snow / ice in his mouth still."
