Yes, prayers. . . I mean, let's not give the doctors and their skills and tools, or the helicopters and their pilots any credit. This crash and the man's suffering was all part of God's plan, right? So why pray to the same monster for the man's recovery? Seems like lunacy to me.

Can someone explain why he was trying hit the flags so hard? Seems like the arm swing to hit the flags threw him off balance many times. Is the flag hitting necessary?
They are “gates” and in this type of slalom which is GS (Giant slalom) Hitting the gates is not at all mandatory but it is recommended to stay low of the gates if you wanna go faster. The higher you stay in the gates you will go slower and be a bit later of the gates. That’s why we wear knee guard, pole guards, and chin guards for slalom, and for Giant slalom, Super G, and Downhill you wear just arm guards. And you also wear padded race gloves for protection as well. And back guards, and cut suits.
This is the most amazing sport discipline ever. This guys are real heroes ... the gladiators of the modern age. The awards they get are pathetic unfortunately...
bro i went snowboarding once (i like to skate) and i was amazed at how scary/dangerous the sport is. 1.) on my literal second time on the mountain by friends took me to the TOP of the moutain and i didnt even know how to strap in my snowboard. 2.) i played american football for 10 years and i hurt my shoulder worse on a two days snowboaridng trip than i did in those 10 years of american football
@@mikepod637 We always go skiing in the holidays, but I'm actually terrified at the thought of snowboarding. Like, you can get injured badly from skiing (my little sister broke her leg, the worst I got was only a badly twisted foot so I couldn't walk for days), but not being able to move your legs independently is nightmare fuel, hats off.
Personally, I think getting on a bull would be scarier for me. I love speed and have won many auto races and water skied for years. But never tried snow skiing. It was the gravity I feared. It's very unforgiving. These guys have balls of steel.
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.
Oh man that was nasty...That's why I ski bumps. lol. Hope he recovers fully & quickly. Thank God his injuries aren't bad. Blows knee going into gate above crash gate, looks like gate itself knocks him out...then watching his leg still in binding spin around like a toy was agonizing to watch, then smashing into race coordinators/onlookers at the fence just makes it that much worse. That was nasty.
@@richardwilson5330 LOL right?

@vanhalen1975 there was nothing wrong with his run. The g force probably where to much for 1 knee and i couldn't stop the turn because his weight shifted back which made him lose controll of his skies.
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 ?
To me it looks like he knew he messes up and quit trying then got hammered for not paying attention. Lapse in judgement and a poor attitude caused this accident. I'm sure he learned his lesson. I'd be embarrassed for what I did to myself if I was him. I race BMX and my lapse in concentration cost me a broken pelvis and femur. I learned my lesson always stay focused!!!
What would toy like them to do? Move him and risk paralyzing him if he suffered a neck/spine injury At an event like this it's common knowledge that emergency medical professionals are nearby and are rushing to the scene.

"Tommy Ford, the top American man with three World Cup podiums in this Olympic cycle, will miss the rest of the season, including next month’s world Alpine skiing championships, due to injuries from a race crash on Jan. 9... He tore some knee ligaments in his knee and hand, plus suffered a concussion in being knocked unconscious temporarily."
When I hyperextended my left knee skiing and tore my ALC, MCL, and LCL, someone was taking care of my within seconds. Is it me, but doesn’t it seem to take like forever to get to the skiers?
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
I think something happened to him of a cerebral-vascular nature. Just before he crashes there's a moment where he seems confused to me, like he doesn't quite know where he is or what's happening. The two or three gates before that he was taking a lot easier, too -- like something was already not quite right. I think he may have fainted and **then** crashed.
No I think the reason why he crashed was because his knee got seriously messed up while he was skiing thats why he was screaming before he obviously lost control and ran into the gate. Definitely was knocked unconscious after the big crash though
