Just seen from Jossi's instagram and sadly he has broken his neck.

He reports he will be OK but off skis for sometime.

Heal up Jossi!

Reports from Jossi and family are quite positive- he broke some bones in his neck but luckily no damage to his spinal cord. He needs to rest up, keep the headbanging to a minimum and is expected to make a full recovery!

Get well soon buddy!!

I saw that he had this morning. He's on my ski team so he better be back soon! He's the man so I'm sure he will.

Rumour has it he carved into the One Hit Wonder jump without a speed check, first hit of the day. After that, I'm not sure...

Damn it's rough to hear when people get hurt and a broken neck can be especially bad. Heal up though, stoked to hear it didn't cause major damage.

The Wells family are injury prone I swear. Byron had one not too long ago but Beau James and Jackson don't go so hard in the pain quite yet

"A user of Newschoolers, an online skiing community, posted that Wells was on the road to recovery." The Southland Times.

We hit it big time now, the whole world knows who we are! At least those old people that still read the paper in Invercargill do.

Wish the best for him and hope he has a fast recovery.

Good to hear he's okay. That's the only thing that really scares me is head and neck injuries.
