Crazy
😢😢
Holy cow! I wonder how fast he was going. That's crazy.
I didn't notice any leg breaking.
Well hello going 100 miles an hour in sticks down ice ya might run into trouble
Hope you recovered after that crazy ass yard sale…,.
That’s awful. Glad he made a complete recovery.
Hoppela 😄
I hope that with this man everything okay 🙏
ALWAYS too tight bindings. They never get off at high speed if you don't make mistakes.
Ouch
Jesus these men and women are so mad , the speeds they do and the only protection is a helmet and boots the rest is Lycra
Ouch.
dying is indeed not healthy
By the dark gods that looks bad!
I hope he healed from that… it looks like both his knees snapped
Bartenderrrrrr!
Remember you did this to yourself
He didn’t break his legs lol
😂
ouchy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
…heart-breaking brinksmanship…I hope he heals thoroughly realizes "I must care about me."…
Defund the CBC
I like skiing but there’s no way I would shove out of the start gate on one of these pro’s race courses. I’d end up like this guy by turn 3? Maybe 2? Or 1? On Streif turn 1.
Super athletic
how horrible !! They know the dangers though. pray he’s ok
That compression is huge
Did his binding brake or what the hell happened?
Holy freakin ouch
yeah, I think he had a broken bone because his leg was flopping like a noodle for sure, and he can see it’s not been straight. Not only that I don’t know how we got into that accident. It was on a flat part I’m thinking it was a mechanical failure from a binding malfunction. So I think the binding gave out on him.
You just do not see a WC skier split the skis like this, really a bad fall.
There is always the paralysis Olympics for this dude.
Scary😢
All I saw was him lose a board, I wonder if his binding failed.
Yiiiiikes
He crashes at 1:45
Nobody would even know he broke anything if the video didnt say it, looks fast but not really that violent.
Awful to see that boot twisted through 180 degrees, and of course the leg and knee within. I cannot imagine the agony or the shock. I've skiied but have never been able to imagine that level of commitment. My respect!
Hilarious.
