Doctors still cannot say Schumacher is out of danger.

They should name and shame this person as it ruins journalistic integrity.

Re: Schumacher in 'critical condition' after skiing accident
Interesting indeed. You have to fall really unluckily to damage your helmet and head that seriously at a low speed. Also, I thought he was skiing with his son only...iceman1 wrote:Interesting!
Kehm: Schumacher-accident not with high speed! Wanted to help fallen friend. Then drove over a rock, lost control and fell on another rock.

On the other hand, it seems unbelievable that Schumi would cross an area that is so obviously filled with rocks:
I guess it just shows that journalist will either try to portrait him as a hero (someone trying to help a friend) or a reckless retired sportsman.

It's obvious when you look at it from above and the opposite direction to the where the skiers are coming from.Treacle wrote: On the other hand, it seems unbelievable that Schumi would cross an area that is so obviously filled with rocks:
If the snowfall and wind are from the opposite direction it might just look like small bumps in the snow.
Re: Schumacher in 'critical condition' after skiing accident
Even though this is really not the point - I mean the accident has happened and the circumstances hardly matter - I'd beg to differ. Once you get to the edge of the area you can see those are not simply small bumps, but big rocks. And I - as a skier - would be wary of the fact that it's not groomed. Usually there is a reason for that.Kevin Clark wrote:It's obvious when you look at it from above and the opposite direction to the where the skiers are coming from.Treacle wrote: On the other hand, it seems unbelievable that Schumi would cross an area that is so obviously filled with rocks:

However, I agree with some other people that it wouldn't hurt to put up some orange nets to let people know in advance that it's not safe to ski there.
Anyways, it's good to hear that he is doing slightly better. Hopefully this will keep up and he will fully recover. I have hope that his story will end similarly to Daniel Albrecht's.

Re: Schumacher in 'critical condition' after skiing accident
Off-piste skiing is nothing unusual. Plus that photo is very misleading. The middle area is surrounded by red marker polls which indicate it is the edge of the piste. As you can see, there are ski tracks between the rocks so other skiers have been through there.
It is just unlucky. I've been stuck on ski lifts before when rescue helicopters have been sent to airlift an injured faller off the slopes. People can fall and hurt themselves anywhere at a ski resort. On-piste, off-piste, apres-ski... Schumi is a seasoned skier and knew the risks when he went off-piste. He's neither a hero nor a reckless retired sportsman. He's an everyday person who's suffered from a piece of wrong place wrong time, which is ironic given his time in F1.

Re: Schumacher in 'critical condition' after skiing accident
Unfortunately he spends Birthday in Coma. I am 100% sure Schumacher will fully recover from this.

Happy Birthday Michael!
Re: Schumacher in 'critical condition' after skiing accident
Investigators say he was skiing on the left hand side of the piste, went off piste between 3-6 metres, hit a rock that was 8 metres from piste and struck his head on the rock.
Helmet provides clear footage and they've done a reconstruction, but they can't say how fast he was travelling.

“Michael's sedation is being reduced in order to allow the start of the waking up process which may take a long time,” read a statement released on behalf of the Schumacher family.
Schumacher, 45, has been kept in an induced coma in Grenoble's University Hospital in France since falling and hitting his head on a rock during a family ski trip in December.
"The family of Michael Schumacher is again requesting to respect its privacy and the medical secret, and to not disturb the doctors treating Michael in their work," added the statement.
"At the same time, the family wishes to express sincere appreciation for theworld wide sympathy."
