How long will he be properly out for? Wondering if he'll now be at the London Freeze at the end of October or not.

his jumps are perfectly built though so even though they are huge you can still ski away from a fall without injury a lot of the time.

meniscus isnt that bad, all it is is arthoscopic so he could get back in time.

meniscus isn't bad, it's like a 2 week max recovery time, most people walk out of the hospital after surgery

getting it cut out is a fairly quick recovery.
getting it repaired is more like 4 months.

very true. but lets say you didnt get your speeds right for a jump like the JOI jump and case it hard.. i would sau that you can get easily injured

yeah i agree however on a big jump you have to agree the tolerances are tighter. wrong move, or wrong speed and you can still get hurt badly.
