Replying to Scary skiing story

so my dads friends son-in-law got in a skiing accident a few weeks back at mt snow. he was skiing along on the side of a trail, and all of a sudden he just disapeared. He had a friend with him that was just behind him and said he had no idea what happened, all of a sudden he just couldnt be seen. What happened was he was right on the side of the trail close to trees when all of a sudden the snow i guess just broke away and he fell down into the trees. He hit a tree so hard the bottom half of his leg went thru his knee and into the top half of his leg. He almost bled to death and doctors say if his friend happened to be infront of him then he would have died because it would have taken a while just to find him and he was lucky enough as it is. He had to be airlifted to the nearest hospital.

So now asif thats bad enough, missing more then half of one leg, well he doesnt have insurance. The helicopter alone cost $8000 and he had 3 surgeries. So yeah they are gonna be in a little debt for a while. My dad told me this wen i was eating dinner tonight, just wanted to share this story so all of you think about how lucky we are to be able to ski and how quickly and dramatically our lives could change

oh yeah and this guy was a ski instructor, so its not like he was a newb skiier skiing somthin outa his ability, just huge bad luck and now his life is totally changed. although he does have a good atitude still. he told my dads friend that hel be out next year skiing but of coarse it wont be the same and hel be learning more then anything
