just read about this on the TGR board and came here to see if anyone was talking about it. This is a horrible couple days for the ski world, I hope that Marc pulls through fine, the ski world can't take many more of these losses this year.

noone is invinceable (and no, i'm not a dick, just sencitised)
i'm actually suprised that this isn't happening in snowboarding... they don't seam to be having nearly as much major accidents as skiing has been lately.
but it does seam like this winter has been full of injury/death (local and pro)

damn man that's brutal, Marc Andre is the shit, I remember way back in the 2000 US open he was throwing huge switch fronts, that guy has mad steeze. Lets just hope he has a quick and full recovery, this season has been so full of tragedy. I think what we may be seeing is the largely inevitable result of endless and fanatical emphasis onprogression, I don't mean to imply I'm against progression (by any means!) but the endless quest to do things bigger and faster and burlier cannot help but result in an increase in the regularity of injuries and deaths.

I have mad respect for him, I saw him rip a line in Wolverine Cirque only about a month ago and he killed it. He is one of the best out there, and a super nice guy. He will be back.

really? Didn't see that anywhere on TGR....maybe your confusing the thread about Doug Coombs.
Not to fuel the rumor mill....but word is that he fell and tomahawked down a line, possibly seriously injuring his back. Not going to post anything more until it is actually confirmed.
All I can say now is postive vibes, thoughts and prays to Marc Andre. This type of injury is terrifying. You're in my thoughts.

to say the least. when i broke my back, i was writhing around on the ground in pain, unable to breathe because the wind was knocked out of me, but the only thing i cared about was checking to make sure my feet could still move. it was the scariest experience of my life and i would never wish that upon anyone.
what REALLY worries me is that, last i heard, Marc is still in the hospital. when i broke my back, i partially crushed a vertebra and broke a rib and was out of the ER in about 3 hours. if Marc's still in the hospital, i would speculate that things are VERY serious. definitely pray for this guy!

This is an update of what is available at the moment
Marc Andre took a fall near Nelson, BC. Currently, he is in the hospital with a broken back. Pretty sure he had a surgery last night. The concern is whether or not he will suffer any paralysis.
This is just horrible. More positive vibes to him. Hope hope hope hope hope he isn't paralyzed...
