luck has something to do with it, but in the instance of the climbers you've mentioned, it sounds like not much bad luck was required. surviving avalanches has more to do with preparedness and risk than luck.
believe it or not, Will is an experienced professional athlete who was working with one of the very best ski filming companies at the time of the avalanche. these guys are serious pros and you can see it in how they call themselves out for screwing up to get in that position. but ultimately they were well prepared to deal with the consequences once the slide occurred.
i have no idea what you mean by 'rad'.
