I remember reading about the fall at 2 minutes in.

Apparently the guy lost one of his legs it was beat up so badly. =(

The last skier almost died. He was in a coma for a few weeks. It s crazy the impacts you can get from crashing at 70mph in a downhill. The guy that was thrown in the air (1min) coming out of his turn is a good exemple of the force that is in their legs when they turn. You think park skiers take big risks ? Try racing all out at those speeds.

The guy who took that last crash grew up at my home mountain. When he fell he was going 87 mph, no wonder he almost died.

That was the most wreckage i've ever seen..... holy sh*t...

But then if you do take 50 degree slopes, water them over night to make it bullet hard ice and attack it with rigid ass ski's with razor sharp edges - you're gonna haul some ass, and when it goes wrong, it's gonna not work out too well.....

Racing is SO on the limit.... one tiny little bump, mis-timed corner etc and you are simply a passenger... World Cup downhilling is fuck me dangerous....

2:10 guy had to get his leg amputated, he basically destroyed everything possible in his leg so there was nothing left to repair and it had to come off
