Because this is a must, only medical professionals are authorized to help unless he is in a direct danger like fire,, etc. Moving a crashed person by someone like us can lead to more injuries, if he has an injured neck a wrong move can paralyze him. So they wait for the medics to do it, which is the right thing to do.

Ya, my thoughts exactly - he's got his downhill ski out and suddenly he gets an impact and he's screaming immediately. I think it actually broke his tibia and he blew the other knee in the fall when that binding didn't release. He got the concussion and broken collarbone when he hit the bystander, I bet. Speed is energy. A lot of velocity wants to reapply itself in bad ways when you fall at 50+ mph.

i was trying to figure out why he fell so hard ...Just after he lost his line looks like he did still make it with both skis around that gate where he crashed ... but i think after watching it in stop motion, from coming across there at the too low/bad angle and crossing over the rut it just instantly blasted off the heel release on his left ski binding and i think thats why he slammed head first right there ?

I screen recorded it then played it frame by frame when it was paused. His leg moves 360 at the end!!! You see the initial break when he first hits the ground. Essentially his ski didn’t allow his leg to follow the momentum of his body and it gave way at the weakest point being the knee joint. I’m not sure he will ever ski professionally again. Not only did that initial one look bad. But as he tumbled down the hill it kept doing more damage. Very unfortunate and exactly why you won’t catch me doing that

Tbh I’ve been in some pretty serious crashes and I’ve seen some worse ones and this one didn’t LOOK all that bad but that can be deceiving. Obviously he’s still hurt but if those skis hadnt come off he could have ended up with a shattered tibia and fibula like my dad and that hit could cause a concussion but it also could have been much harder. Biggest concern for me would be him hitting the fence head first

that sucks. He almost made it to the finish line.
