hello, everyone. i'm beth troutman. it's friday and that means it's time for the rtm countdown, the 10 best videos of the day "right this minute." it's a scene that has skiers slaking in their boots. >> you'll see the avalanche start, but this -- >> not what it seems. we'll explain. smoky the bear hates forest

fires. the new picture shows why. >> looks like his paws are actually burned. >> we have the story behind this heartbreaking video. meet an 8-year-old with attitude that made our top 10. we've got a song that made us go oh! and a crash that made us go oh! see why this granny can take a hit. it's all coming up on the rtm countdown. we begin our countdown show today with our number 10 video and steven found it for us. >> yeah. when there's a heavy snowfall on top of a mountain, i think you know what's coming next, right? an avalanche, like this one in stewart british columbia. check this out. the guy filmed it on iphone 4. you'll see the avalanche start. this is a controlled avalanche just like you hear about

controlled burns in the forest. governments do this to reduce the danger of big snow slides. when they do, they stop traffic and make it safe for all the snow to come down the mountain. this is all preventive so there's not a big avalanche or snow slide in the future. wait until you see what it looks like when it starts to get closer to the camera. >> it already looks like a giant cloud of snow. >> they like to do these controlled avalanches before the snow packs down. so when it's powdery and loose they do these. when there's a steep drop-off like you're seeing in this particular video it creates these big plumes, which are mixtures of snow and air. look at that. >> i've never seen anything like this before. this is really amazing to watch, because it really does look like a cloud on the ground. >> if you showed me this video and said this is a big fire in the forest, look at the smoke from the fire, i'd say, yeah, okay, right. >> at number nine on the rtm

countdown today, the fire and the bear. >> in florida they started a controlled fire that unfortunately got out of control and started getting close to homes. one of the homeowners decided to go outside and protect this home somehow. while he was out, he saw this. this is a florida black bear who appears to be injured by the fire. it looks like his paws were actually burned. >> breaks my heart. >> as you can see, he tries to get on his paws, but the pain makes him get down on his arms and crawl. >> i've never seen that before. that is really sad. you can see a lot of these controlled burns across the country. in most cases they are a good thing. i always think the animals are like oh, smoke, we've got to get out of the way. but this poor guy had nowhere to go. >> that's what the florida fish

and wildlife association believes, he was burned trying to escape. they were looking for him but decided to leave him alone because they believed that in the process of trying to help and rescue him, he would get scared and run away andinjure his paws more. leaving him aloe a place where be safe. and by licking his own paws heal them. >> i hope he can find a little pond or creek to stick his paws in, cool them off. this next video comes from what they call one of the toughest events on the planet. we call it number eight. >> steven, do you consider yourself a tough guy? are you tough? >> yeah, i'm tough. >> are you girls tough. >> yes. >> are you tough enough to handle the tough mudder. this is jessie burk, the tough

mudder, about to finish a foot race, obstacle course in arizona last weekend. the little things hanging down are electroshock therapy. >> what? >> this is the last obstacle you have to get through at the end of running 12 1/2 miles going through 20 different obstacles, taking ice baths, jumping over walls, going through tunnels of mud. >> they are running through this. every time they touch one of those wires they get zapped? >> i'm done. >> a little bit of mud but a real tough mudder licks the mud off his legs. >> licks? >> there you go. >> yes, you pay to do this. >> do you have to pay to do this, or does someone pay you. people would have to pay me. >> people thought they could run through the wires but grown men were getting zapped and dropped to the ground. tell us a little more what it felt like to get through the

entire 12 1/2 miles. >> i wanted a challenge. it would be a good way to accomplish fitness goals. >> is one of your fitness goals to get shocked 21 times. >> i was lucky and probably only got shocked eight times. >> only. >> i can say i made it through standing up. >> what other things do you have to go through during this competition. >> they like to make you uncomfortable. about a mile, mile and a half into it you're wet, muddy, then you get hit with the first ice bath. >> tell us what you get at the end of this. >> this is it. the glory. you get a mudder head band, which is pretty sweet and i'm happy to have. >> at number seven, a tough sport with an opponent of glass and steel. >> you guys know that famous scene in rocky, the training

montage, rocky beating up the piece of frozen meat. >> this guy got it wrong. it's almost like he has a problem with these cars. he's in arguments with these different vehicles and squaring up and talking smack than like punching mirrors and kicking the lights in. >> after he does that to that little blue car, he's like take that. >> and all the while setting off alarms every time he hits one of these things. >> i feel like there might be something wrong with this man. >> i would say he perhaps could be under the influence of some sort of substance. >> yeah. >> maybe he couldn't get a car loan and couldn't get his own set of wheels, now he's mad at all the cars. >> he's pointing at the car driving up. >> you know what kind of car that is? that's the police. >> that's the police. >> so this guy's fun is over
