      @@decco9049 To be fair, perhaps OP was highlighting the fact that it was hard work to dig him out. So the word tried was there to make the phrase "so hard" work. 😉
      Neither "the man who dug him out so hard", nor "the man who saved him so hard" would work. 😁✌
      Edit:
      Rereading what I wrote, I came to the best phrase that might satisfy you: 'the man who dug so hard to save him' or 'worked so hard to save him'.
      There. 🙂
      But I see no need to criticize her use of tried. 😉

    Imagine being buried in a substance that if you 'move' compacts around you and seals you in. I would have been swearing as well while trying to get him out. It sends shivers down my spine. There are just no words to say how unimaginable it is to come across two feet that are strapped in, 'wriggling', and the person is fighting for life just trying to breathe. I would have cried and hugged the man after getting him out. Every day a new hero emerges.

      Accidents happen. These were dangerous conditions, and it wasn’t wise to ski in this kind of weather. This is God’s wisdom. Not only is it God’s wisdom, but the fact this man was rescued is God’s grace.
      Humans have free will. Love wouldn’t force anyone to choose Him, but Love is a choice, which is what makes it Beautiful. I pray that you will ask Jesus into your heart and receive Him to know God before it’s too late.
      With how unsure things are in our economy, illnesses, crazy weather events, etc., we all have a ticker, abd God will not force Himself on anyone, but today He gives you a choice. I pray that you will choose Love for the most secure present possible, abd the most joyful eternal state in the future. ❤️

      @Noahsorman Snow is porous, before it starts to melt and refreeze into ice. So it's a bit more forgiving than being buried alive in other materials.
