Which case was the most disturbing in your opinion?
The one where the guy dragged against the snow, with his guts flying out of him or smth..
Gernot reinstadler
Yeah, I saw the Gernot crash video years ago. It is one of the most disturbing things ever broadcasted live.
100%, agree
@georgegividen do i watch it? or do i want to
"Btw, everyone else on my list dies"
Thanks for setting expectations.
it's an engagement thing, same reason he says "their body" when referring to a living person
@theeman7309what exactly about saying “their body” when referring to a living person or warning that you are about to see and hear about people dying is an “engagement thing”?
@dysfunctionalaf because it makes people want to comment and talk about it more, which gains the video traction in the algorithm.
@theeman7309 Oh, okay, so you’re doing exactly what they want.
@dysfunctionalaf I never said I cared, just made a statement that was having to do with what I said to the main commenter
The fact that Ulli said that the course was too dangerous in that clip breaks my heart. she had no idea how true that was.
Yes, hope they made safety changes
@gisellesinclair6811 it was only dangerous because it was to icy. dangerous because of weather conditions not because the track itself was dangerous
She was very experienced, she probably understood the risk, but when you have worked so hard, for so long, dedicating your life to achieve your dream, it`s hard to let that go and say "no".
@afrog2666 This is what leads so many athletes to unfortunate fates. There is a certain strength in being able to see the writing on the wall and say "no", and abandon what you have poured your heart into.
@afrog2666 darwin awards
“You ok dude?” As he literally falls off a cliff like a rag doll
Tbf he was okay
That second dude sitting in the hospital with what looks to be a beer has to be the most 80s Murica shit I’ve ever seen
It’s a Diet Pepsi but still “‘Murica” as hell lol
Rs
100% even his demeanor was somehow 80’s Murica. Made me giggle. “I’ve never really broken a bone…never really been in the hospital before”
this stupid utuber, he bait about showing us this incident, but he didnt :S . classic amerigun lier. and learn how to use decimal system
Why do Europeans say cornball shit like “murica shit” 😂😂😂
Human body is incredibly durable but also incredibly fragile.
It’s literally insane how much we can handle and how little it takes to kill us
considering people survivinge free fall with terminal velocity and survived and people daily are dieing by dripping and hitting their head, its all about how you land, there is such a wide range what could happen
Well said
It's all about where it happens. The legs can take alot, the head not so much.
Yeah, the first guy was extremely lucky to survive to be dead for 4 minutes. The others not as.
Gernot’s death was the most disturbing to me. I remember seeing the full video on RUclips before they started censoring everything. It was horrifying but especially the way he looked down at his injury and realized how bad it was.
It’s still on RUclips
@Goddess-essence Thank you so much for checking. You did a great service.
I just saw it. I’m traumatized.
I was being sarcastic and truly don’t recommend looking it up. 😔
@Harley8549I regret my decision, I was way to curious lol. I feel so bad for him tho
The case where dude is ripped apart will forever haunt me.
I think the proper term is _bifurcated_ and i am shook
my pelvis hurts.... just trying to remember....
witch one is it?
Same, I've seen it on TV. The blood line down the hill was shocking! I'll never forget this scene.
@savageturtle2413 10:40
Gernot looking down at the absolute mess that's left of his pelvis, all hold together by his suit only. What a horror. We can only imagine what he was thinking at that moment. RIP
@joselinee8597 He was likely in a daze from the sheer force that devastated his body in mere seconds, unable to comprehend what just happened to him, and passing out from rapid blood loss. He would have never survived any surgery. The type of surgery he needed to save him is so rare that even nowadays, let alone back then, it is hardly ever completed successfully in time. That procedure was to amputate his body at the waist line, removing legs, pelvic & hips bones.
@jayesimond9301 I actually follow a guy on here that has had that surgery. Absolutely gnarly stuff.
@TheEmpressEmbodiedYeah, I saw a young guy who had that surgery after a work accident. Maybe same u referring to. It’s still completely life-altering. Takes a lot of will-power to accept the change.
I doubt he was conscious for long or comprehended the gravity of his injuries. He was in a highly disorienting spin, then slid for about 5 seconds. If you've seen the unedited video, he sat up briefly--probably the last of his adrenaline--when he came to a stop and then promptly passed out. With that much blood loss from the iliac and femoral arteries, I'm surprised he lived long enough to be transported to the helicopter.
Narrator said he was able to do the splits without any former training.
So wrong....
Ripping the middle part of ur lower half so much u can do a split is just too terrifying
Daniel André Tande has since retired, citing the fall as the reason. He got scared, and couldn't do it anymore. I feel bad for him, but he had an AMAZING career.
Honestly, I don’t think you should feel bad. He had an amazing career and decided to walk away while he still could
he was actually dead. there is zero chance that doesnt haunt his brain still. he wasnt just near death but died and came back. im surprised he even continued at all.
I got to meet him and my parents are friends with his parents, he had an amazing career. Sadly this happend
@Lathnor Well, at least he continues on as a trainer for the American Continetal Cup team
@eldritchcupcakes3195I feel like it can be both. It's sad he wasn't able to continue his career, but it's beautiful that he had an awesome career and ended before anything worse happened.
Uploader: "The video is way too graphic to show you"
Also uploader: makes it the thumbnail
It's not the uploader that has decided it is too graphic, it's the youtube overlords
@kingcosworth2643 hey man don’t talk down to them, get on your knees and beg for forgiveness so your comments don’t get censored
I just watched it on youtube. You just have to confirm you're ok with graphic content.
@kingcosworth2643 There are at least 6 uncensored uploads of it on RUclips and have been for years.
Just knowing these are all very young athletes it's even more heartbreaking 💔😢
13:44 the fact that Gernot survived long enough to make it to a hospital with both of his femoral arteries shredded and his legs essentially detached and THEN to survive several hours long surgeries and blood transfusions before his body FINALLY had enough, is really a testament to his incredible athleticism. That kid was a warrior and his body must've been in peak performance condition and he must have worked harder than we can imagine to get to that point. He would've ruled the ski world and been a legend, I truly believe that.
I call it dumb luck, play stupid games Win dumb prices. If I ever fall of a mountain I don't want to be a top athletic blabla don't know what you're in about 😂
@H@Hooibeest2DAbsolutely no need to be so harsh.
You can say that about most pro athletes.
His suit kept him alive for that long but be was a fighter
@Hooibeest2D youre an awful being dude
The worst part of Gernots injuries is he was concious long enough to realize he's badly injured. His pelvis wasnt only broken, both his legs were basically twisted and torn from it, tearing both femoral arteries. His suit was really the only thing keeping them attached
With both femoral arteries torn, he likely wouldn't have lived long at all. Still... That is horrible for him, and those watching.
@AmyAndThePuptwisted so much it mitigated the bloodloss
He most likely wasn’t aware of his injuries because of shock and the blood loss. It looks like he passed out shortly after, so hopefully he wasn’t conscious long enough to feel anything.
@AmyAndThePup unfortunately it seemed like he lived long enough to know what happened and likely felt a lot of pain.
@Jekama51 he didn't pass out until he came to a stop though. He was trying to stop himself from moving with his hands at the end. He was likely awake during the whole actual accident. It wasn't long, but I'm sure he felt something and knew something was wrong.
Crazy how the "Safety nets" are typically the things skier are dying from when they hit them.
Still better than hugging a tree
To be fair, these are freak accidents. There's been a lot of times when the safety nets actually did their thing and prevented worse outcomes
And ask robert kubica if a guardrail always protects you from a bad car crash
@JurekBogdanowicz However he reinvented his career nicely. He just won Le Mans. Not too shabby
@shragiresnickyep but he was actually lucky he didnt loose his life. Gareth roberts wasnt so lucky
The snowboarding descent down Mount Everest is the most Red Bull thing ever
He should’ve paid attention to the warning signs that indicated this time would be different!
recently, red bull had a man ski down mount everest and they posted it on youtube
@Tonyd20115 jeez why so passive aggressive. i’m just saying your comment kind of happened in a way
@Tonyd20115now what the hell does being liberal have to do with anything? check yourself
@T@Tonyd20115 hate to break it to you but i was never offended, just taken aback by your passive aggressive attitude over something so minuscule. i was replying to your moment originally with polite motivations but I guess I caught you in a bad mood because your turned the whole conversation ugly.
I feel so bad for the daughter who watched their own mother die
That is truly heartbreaking.
imagine laughing as you watch your pro cool mom and cheering for her then she suddenly gets throw. to the ground and start's spinning going down...
@Catsarecoolchangemymind and breaks her neck… I really feel bad for the daughter 😢
"Their"?? Not 'her'?
@guineapiglady2841 "their" works for both male and female, "their" and "her" are both grammatically correct for a female, even if it is a single person and not more than one.
In number one, being clinically dead then leaving the hospital a week later is crazy
Yeah i don’t know how you can possibly recover that fast
This is the power of CPR. A person is clinically dead the moment their heart stops beating and they stop breathing. But you can keep pumping their blood and breathing for them. When done immediately and correctly, it can and does save people. It also helps to be young and fit.
I went from clinically dead no heartbeat for 2-3 minutes after I was hit by a semi to being discharged from hospital that night
They want you out ASAP so they can use the bed
Then bro decided to get back to the grind again like it didn't happen what a fuckin madlad
for those morbidly curious about Gernot's accident, its....not pretty. (TRIGGER WARNING: DESCRIPTION OF HIS WOUNDS FROM THE RECORDING) He literally left a trail of blood. you can see exactly where his leg was pracically torn off his body, only being held on by his ski suit. its bewildering he was able to even sit himself up after, even thought it was just for a second. his right leg is clearly gone, its limp, clearly broken and only moves as he slumps back down. after 6 surgeries he passed, and the management for the race ( i think) refused to pay for his bils. only giving in and paying when the literal government pressured them to.
Yep. It made me nearly throw up, the first time i saw it. It actually might have. Only consolation is that he probably went into shock and didn’t feel/see anything.
@e@ellaelliott4415yeah I saw the unfiltered video out of pure curiosity and I nearly threw up
@Rxdeboiiwhere can i watch
@g@gopico2763search it you can find it on yt even
If it weren’t for the suit his leg would’ve fully fallen off on the hill
I am constantly in awe of people that experience accidents that are nearly fatal only to return to doing those same activities as soon as the physical healing is complete. I understand these are extreme athletes and it’s their true passion, but it never fails to amaze me. I have so much respect for that kind of dedication and fearlessness
And yet here i am, with a injury that crept up with any seeming cause and can't even ride for a very long time
@Midgamer420 respect to you, good sir. Impressive. But I can appreciate that, too: if something is so deeply ingrained in you and your identity, I can see returning being both horrifying and, simultaneously, totally necessary.
@aako-dd1ly sorry to hear that :(
Maybe they think if they are careful enough they won‘t get hurt again? I loved skiing ever since I was 5 and never went a winter without it. I can confidently say that i was a good skier. One day I made the mistake of going skiing on a slope that had way too many (inexperienced) people on it (eff overtourism) and a guy just fully slammed into me from behind. I fell and it seemed as if I had just slightly injured myself but actually I can still feel the pain sometimes, 3 years later. In haven‘t been back. I used to love skiing so much, but I am so afraid of going back now. I know that the same thing could happen again and there is absolutely nothing i can do about it. I wish slopes were only open to people who have learned basic skiing and the rules for slopes. My guess is that these athletes are convinced they just need to get even better and nothing will happen (I don‘t agree though). o maybe they just love the sport too much
Drug addicts do it all the time. Accidentally overdose, and go right back to drugs when they get out of the hospital. Even when told they won't live another year if they don't quit, they keep on doing drugs until their death. Very dedicated to their extreme activities.
Thank you for not using ai voices. This stuff ruins these kind of videos for me. Glad to see there are genuine content creators out there who are still worth watching.
Agreed!
Sounds AI to me..
@robertkay9871if this sound AI to you, then you might need to have your head checked.
@zincxdroiddAi has gotten extremely advanced, it doesn’t sound Ai, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was.
@robertkay9871 they wouldn’t choose a non-native English speaker’s accent for an AI voiceover
12:56 it looks like he’s still conscious… the pain he was experiencing was definitely something words can’t explain
The adrenaline might of had him numbed to some degree there, but the pain that'd come in after can't have been good
He never felt any pain, he didn’t even properly realise what happened to him and he never did because the last time he lived was before he took that turn, he was in too much shock and adrenaline and never regained consciousness which is relieving but more sad because he will never know what happened to him, he just took a turn, hit the safety net and that’s all he knew, he was too young to die
Imagine losing a friend in a mountain climbing accident, then losing you brother the same way and STILL pursuing this thrill seeking. Poor parents... lost both sons to recklessness
they arent breeding so thats a good thing
AND doing it successfully the first time (just not the EXACT way you you wanted) only to take that insane risk again… smh
@lazy.daisy.writes With a boot just practically secured in an improvised manner to let him even descend. Betcha the thing gave again and it sent him to an early grave
yeah it is crazy, but the man was crazy. In his mind it had to be done. We dont get it, we can't. It is what enabled him him to do everything up to that point, and what lead to his death. Its sad, but he wws a special person for sure.
That’s the difference between great pro athletes and your average joe. What you think is reckless is what they love to do and would die for. It always makes me laugh when yall say comments like that. Especially when he’s living his life to the fullest. Not every one wants to be wrapped in bubble wrap
7:07 "he misjudges the final jump"... i watched this part multiple times and can tell not only did he misjudge, all the other racers did so too.
this ramp was soo bad placed that everyone misjudged it, i hope they sued the poop out of whoever was the organizer of the event.
as of a few years ago I think there was some legal action, but this happens with the families of elite skiers and at the end of the day it's just a super dangerous sport to pursue. Accidents are not rare, best up n coming skiier in Canada Richard Long ran into a tree like 10 years ago and never raced again.
@friedsensei True.
I don't even ski and could see the potential for disaster there. Smdh. A life that didn'tneed tp be lost, gone, all cuz they couldn't see that was a poorly ppl aced ramp.
@friedsensei Over 17 years ago, actually. Not to scare you or anything haha
@urioriari34 I reject your reality. You shouldn't do that to people.
I remember when Nodar Kumaritashvili's death was announced. Slamming into a solid metal pillar at that speed is truly a gruesome way to die. May he rest in peace.
Noticing a pattern with the safety nets and fatalities for Nick Zoricic and Gernot Reinstadler. Combing that with the steel support beam that took out Nodar Kumaritashvili, it’s *VERY* clear that padded surfaces are the way to go for safety in extreme winter sports like this. The nets requiring metal poles is just too dangerous
I think even hitting a padded steel pole at 90mph would have made literally no difference. The track should have been extended so the poles were not exposed at any point
All the safety nets should be made out of bouncy houses.
@gr3yh4wk1 Agreed, having a giant steel pole exposed so close to the track is criminal levels of oversight. It could have happened to any of the atheletes on that course through no fault of their own.
I think they never thought someone could be in contact with these surface in the case of the bobsleigh.
As for skiing, I did many junior competitions at the time of Gernot's accident. Security wasn't what it is now.
I broke both my femur the next year, hitting a wooden barrier at around 125 km/h. The first thing I thought was his accident. I never competed after that.
i got my ski stuck in one of those nets as a kid. luckily i was going slow enough that it only resulted in my leg being sore for the next couple days, but it happened so fast that i didnt realize what happened until i hit the ground. scary stuff
If you manage to snow board down from the Everest with broken equipment I would call that a win and never do that again.
I'm surprised no one else is talking about him. It sounds like when the Sherpas were descending, they came across him literally frozen solid on his snowboard as his corpse was sliding down. Truly some horrible stuff.
A win??? 😂😂😂 The guy should be locked up for the rest of his life. Freaking idiot 😂
That snowboarding guy didn’t know when to STOP!!!
lol "you okay dude?" is such a real thing to say though.. the amount of shock of those announcers!! i'm amazed those first two survived cause hoooly shit
Winter sports are so dangerous, I think a lot of viewers don't realise how dangerous it is. I'll never forget seeing the Gernot Reinstadler crash, so tragic.
Everything can be dangerous, even the most mundane and unassuming things
@Exotic_Nothingnessnah people who put themselves in situations like this are stupid
@Exotic_Nothingnesseveryone can say meaningless drivel even the most logical and disassociated people.
I watched it live on TV too. I was 7. I wasn't quite the edgelord you are and I was traumatized. Drawing it in my journal at that age people thought I was crazy or didn't want to acknowledge it. I didn't find out it was actually real until a few years ago.
@ryanlillie8469 way to get mad at nothing
@siyaceryou're right
10:38 my grandma told me she was watching TV this day. She was peacefully watching, when she noticed something unusual. She knew that split wasnt natural. She knew the injuries he had were severe before they even confirmed anything.
No shade to grandma but I think the massive amount of blood is a pretty good hint that it was serious
This video was recommended to me yesterday & fell down the rabbit-hole. This morning i get message that my young cousin is in the ICU due to a bad skiing accident. It’s weird how one minute you’re watching about it to actually watching it happen. To anyone reading this stay safe, no matter how experienced you are accidents are prone to happening and can irreversibly change your life.
How are they?
@Qwerty-zj3rkThankfully since hes young and in good health he should be able to recover well with minimal nerve damage. Hes stable as of now & doing way better incredibly
@ oh thank goodness 🙏
How's your cousin doing today? It's been a couple of weeks, are they out of the ICU yet?
I hope your doing okay and your cousin too man, stay safe please🙏🏻❤️
Crash of Gernot Reinstadler was the worst crash I've seen in 50 yers of skiing... absolutely horrifying... when we saw it in 1990, we did not stop talking about it for weeks... 😧
I accidentally got a malware on my pc that kept sending me links to videos like his accident to my very first email address. It was terrifying enough that even though I definitely never looked at the video again I recognised the thumbnail even with the censoring 16 years later. Poor guy, to be remembered for his tragic accident instead of his accomplisments.
@maniaclaugh That's horrible! How old were you? I remember my first time being on the internet being pretty terrible, too.
I’m sorry you saw that that’s traumatizing as hell
I remember in 2002 the olympics came to Utah. I was in 2nd grade and they had all kinds of olympics themed coloring pages and stuff... one was like "What olympic sport do YOU want to compete in? Draw a picture of it!" and I responded with "None, I will go home and wear a blanket, where it is warm." This video has me convinced my 7 year old self was probably correct.
Any physical sport has dangers. When you participate in these sports at such a competitive level, you know, understand, and accept that this may be the last time. But the passion, determination, and desire to be the best pushes through all fear and makes you push yourself. Not everyone will understand why people risk their life intentionally to break a record or to be the best at a sport. And that's ok, there will always be people that have the passion, and talent to want to go further.
My god, this is such a mood. I used to really enjoy skiing, but I just cannot tolerate the cold
You may be alive, but you'll always be lame
@PeachBoi_Realhahahaha
Not probably, but definitely.
Marco is the type of guy that gets the first time lucky but he thinks he is the chosen one and tests his luck again. Typical casino players
I love adrenaline
Please refrain from making negative comments about Marco. He’s no longer with us and has already paid the ultimate price for his choices. He was only 23-just a young man, deeply passionate about a sport he loved.
@elsir9thank you for this ❤
6:53 Why do you highlight the guy in the black racing suit (and claim that is Nick Zoricic) while Zoricic clearly wears a yellow suit in the crash foorage seconds later??
as someone that saw the uncensored original footage of gernot that shit was BRUTAL, honestly such a tragic circumstance.
same here
I am so sorry you had to see that
I looked it up and can confirm. Lots of blood, unnatural leg movements and the moment Gernot is hit by the pain and realisation
Im still traumatized to this day. Im sorry to anyone who witnessed this.
i thought it wasnt that bad, until reading a bit more and realising his suit kept his legs in place after they were TWISTED. OFF. HOLY SHIT
"You ok, dude?"
"Yea just still tumbling uncontrollably down a mountain, have my beer ready for me at the hospital!"
I almost broke my arm skiing and got a fear because of it. Never again
Ulrike Maier comes from my village. I've known her dad and also met her daughter. She's still a legend here and most of the people know her.
Wow that is crazy, I'm glad that her Legacy is still known
That’s crazy
You get to live in Rauris? Lucky you! I got to see her statue there a couple years ago 😢
@ Yeah, I've grown up here. I originally come from Sátoralyaújhely (HU) but I came here when I was at the age of 4. It's qutie the peacful little village, but I'm moving out to live on my own in Vienna very soon.
Glad to know shes still talked about to this day, bless your whole village ❤️
I cant tell if this guy is german or not, the german names he pronounces sound GREAT but when hes normally talking he doesnt sound german at all to me.
Fr
i might be crazy but i actually hear a german accent
I’m pretty sure he’s German.
I checked his youtube profile and he is German
I couldn't tell until I heard some of the names pronunciations including the German ones, then I checked the channel information and yeah, he's based in Germany. Though afterwards I could tell some parts of the accent keeping, as well as speech patterns, but honestly, I applaud this guy, most channels I can't even watch if I hear any German accent at all, haha.
I would easily say Gernot's death had to be the worst. I have seen the full video and it is quite graphic. He is literally conscious up until you can see him fall backward and just lie there motionless. I cannot imagine the absolute agony, and terror that was coursing through his body in those moments.
Hitting the barrier at full speed would have been bad enough, but one of this stupid skies got caught on the fencing just long enough that the pure force of him impacting the fence then basically being thrown, cause .. momentum. Was enough to basically rip him in half from below.
He slides and drags along the snow leaving just the biggest trail of blood and what I assume to be either parts of what used to be his private area or potentially even intestines just smeared along the trail. He tries to lift himself up, only to find he is doing the full on splits, he cannot move his lower half at all and then he just collapses backwards and that's the last you see him move for the rest of the video.
The trauma his body sustained was just way too severe to survive. He lost way way too much blood, way too quickly. Even if the surgeons happened to save his life, he would have been no doubt permanently disabled if not also disfigured down there. The only thing I could hope for when I was watching the video was "I really hope shock took over instantly so he at least didn't feel everything that had happened to him." . . ." I hope he was jarred enough by the impact he wasn't actually aware how horrifically injured he was before passing out." . . . which doesn't sound very good, but considering what had happened to him, and knowing he had died. At that point, as painless as possible is the most you can hope for.
Ski Jumping must be one of the most insane adrenaline rushes ever, the feeling of flying through the air like that must feel like true freedom, human flight.
Wing suit enters the chat: am I a joke too you? 😂
I totally agree, the rush from flying off a jump/cliff at great speed must be exhilarating however it's the decent and landing that scares the jimmy out of me! 😅
@LIAM-l_l_lthe humble parachute stands up and leaves the chat 😔
They are never more than 4 meters off the ground. That´s why you very rarely see serious ski jumping accindents.
That would be sky jumping, much more fly time
Ig it wasn't the smartest idea to watch this before going to sleep
me right now
@Aurora-ew2wx Fortunately I didn't get any nightmares, good luck to you too
@Tobi67890 thank you, im just about to go to bed now, praying for myself 🤞
@Aurora-ew2wx how was it?
@Tobi67890i think the nightmares took bro
"you okay, dude?" he lived so those would not be the last words spoken to him 😅
Thanks so much for doing videos like this without using ridiculous AI narration and actually putting effort into it! Great video.
Yeah, AI sucks.
Well, he talks like a robot, so what's worse?
@ Hmm, yeah…. That’s why I like Minecraft RUclipsrs like Parrot and Wifies, the narration is awesome.
Most of these accidents weren't on TV so the title is kinda misleading.
@tylerl6589 Ai
5:03 She actually said "they'll surely have to do something about it, otherwise it's too dangerous!"
16:09 there’s a reason people don’t do this, not just because of the danger. Changing altitude that quickly is not something our bodies are built for, this is why mountains climbers have to stop periodically to adjust or they will get altitude sickness. My ears pop just driving up or down a hill!
Case 6- Marco's brother already died. You would think he would rethink things so that he wouldn't put his family, especially his parents through that pain again.
Warning: Do not create another human being unless you understand every possibility imaginable in life thereafter. It's a choice and extremely risky...as parents, you make this decision, your children don't.
Im scared of injuries and death so I don’t know why I’m forcing myself to watch this but your videos seem very high quality and I enjoy that. by the end of this video I might be severely traumatized but that’s okay😔
Lol risk assessment soothes anxiety - if we learn how things happen we feel more control of them ie I’m not shooting down a mountain at 60 mph I think I’m ok
Just remember they do these things so we don’t have to 😂
23:41 I remember hearing about that. People were angry at us Canadians for changing the safety standards, but that's just the Canadian response to accidents. If you run a stop sign and get into an accident, Canadian officials will put up a bigger stop sign. If you run it and crash again, they will put up an equally large sign on the other side of the road. If you run it and crash again, they will put up a sign warning you there are stop signs again and put up a red flashing light over the intersection. It's just what we do.
I should add that it's the standard response regardless of what is causing you to run the stop sign.
This is why fear exists, to stop us from doing this
eventually you train your brain it isnt scary once you dont die a bunch of times
@sleepdeprivationworldchampion I do skiing. In all honesty it takes one try to completely hook you up or just nope out. For me it's liberating feeling but to be fair I do not do any extreme skiing. Just classic casaul skiing in skiing resort is enough for me and it feels great.
@ diffrent for me im not really scared about going down some mildly advanced hills
Hence, why people have arachnophobia and cats have cucumberphobia.
That random loud scream is absolutely unnecessary and I'm begging you to stop adding that, lol
yea at first i thought it was from tiktok meme or smth
adding dramatization effect is kinda disrespectful
these situations are already too real and very heavy
A wilhelm scream would be better
Also the red words he flashes on screen to try to make it seem scary are just over the top. It just makes the video seem goofy even though it's a very somber topic.
where is the scream?
Victimhood mentality is real. Get off the internet if you’re that easily offended.
i just cannot describe how weird it feels recognizing saya no uta osts in the background lmao
Im just happy to see a RUclips channel that uses their actual voice and not AI
Out of all these cases the most horrific is the guy who was split in two ☠️ ☠️☠️☠️☠️
15:44 was he like, bipolar or something? cuz risking ur life again and again through the danger for a high is kind of not normal
I think you gotta have a couple screws loose to do shit like this professionally period... it's definitely addictive and some people just can't help themselves
Never underestimate what people can do chasing an adrenaline rush
Makes me wonder if he has some sort of trauma or mental health issues, where nothing really does enough to make you happy/excited in your life
What’s up Columbina. I saved enough primogems just to pull you
You should do the worst motorsport accidents next
Yeah
Not a bad idea, ill keep that in mind if this video performs well
You should also do water sport accidents. Like surfing.
yeah, or bring back gladiator fights, that'd be nice 🤡
@yapmasterDV +1 for motorsports!

Placing Tande and not placing Jan Mazoch from ski jumping is criminal
I just swore it said that it contains 7 clips not 8 clips what???
@R4nd0mPlay3r11idk why but the first two are put together as one case
@TYCHY_Mthe first 2 don’t die. I think that is why
Gernot Reinstadler. That story alone made me nauseous I don’t even want to think about that.
I miss who i was 26 mins ago before watching this video
Saying "he was able to a split with no training" was cold as fuck. 😂😮😢
Right? He's so compassionate about everything else & then just throws that in there 😬
Marco's story is so tragic and honestly frustrating. Hindsight is 20/20 but god. He had so many chances to turn back, to stop...
He had hunger for greatness and that strive for it definitely is very dangerous for anyone in any scenario
Skiing has left Motorsports community traumatized
So true..Beeing so great at a dangerous sport, just to be terribly injured at skiing ⛷️ 😢
Fr, tho Motorsport accidents look more catastrophic, your body is at least protected by the car.
Are you talking about Schumi? Because that's all I could think of for most of this video
Getting an ad for skiing while watching this is diabolical
I cant understand why people would consider hitting slopes like that without a helmet. Pure idiocy
Depends on how good you’re at what you’re doing
@lawrencescht6145 what a stooped argument. why are professional football players required to wear helmets? They're all very good at what they do! Why do race car drivers need helmets? They're also very good at what they do! They wear them because it would be stupid not to. And before you say (no They're required too) yeah, they're required to because it would be stupid not to.
Why were you guys watching this at 1am
@PinkMonke1 there's such thing as different time zones bud....
@ethanmetcalf9752 i think its stupid also, but ur comparisons dont make any sense. football players are required to wear helmets because they constantly tackle each other and hit their heads against others all the time. race car drivers wear helmets because their sport is much more dangerous than skiing and is way more unpredictable.
Dang he was ripped in two from the groin... that is terrifying.. we have him to thank for everyone's safety on the mountains today
The Gernot incident is truly awful amongst the awful tragedies here firstly it is believed that he remained conscious during the ordeal and I read somewhere that apparently the surgical teams had never encountered such catastrophic injuries before and didn't know where to start.....you have to feel for them facing such odds, truly terrible.
I remember watching the skiing competition that year, and Gernot's accident was burnt in my brain forever. What an awful way to go. I was in many junior competitions at the time and hit a barrier at around 125 km/h, breaking both of my legs the next year. The first thing I thought was his accident. I remember watching my thighs folded in 2, and despite the pain, I thought "yeah it's not that bad."
I hope he didn't suffer for too long. I never did skiing after that. 🇨🇵
Bless you’re heart!
@Daysie-j4qYeah my ski buddy showed me that kinda changed my perspective and scared me I ski race that theoretically could be me, my friends in another accident it’s a scary thought.
the case at 13:00 is truly distubing, and to think he has such a bright future ahead of him, tragidy. amazing video keep going, maybe make a couple more of these they are amazing.
Almost ripped in half too 😬
Didn’t even have to watch that part of the video to know exactly which clip you were talking about.
@grobnermer Obituary has a song about that.. (Chopped in half🤘)
Horrific but there’s no way you could survive being ripped in half like that. The image of him doing the splits is gonna haunt me poor soul. But I like these type of videos I’d never have known and he deserves to be remembered. Even if that sparks from their death they don’t deserve to be forgotten.
tragedy
I hate how most people say that they will continue to do dangerous stuff after getting literally killed and brought back to life after doing said dangerous stuff
You shouldn't waste time hating other's for THEIR choices.😮
In the end they die doing what they love…the problem is the unseen adrenaline addiction.
Some people just don't learn from their mistakes.
nobody is jealous of you hiding in your room behind your computer
@milchi5122 what did I do man? 😭 just sayin that I don't want to die twice!!
Gernots injury still leaves me faint. I'm so sorry for him.
6:00
Narrator: "her death remains-"
Ad: "mystical, magical"
At times it’s incredible how resilient the human body can be but at others, scary how fragile it is.
I'm sorry, but the Marco one feels like natural selection. His brother died from it, his best friend died from it. People die every single day. This guy kinda chose death.
" you okay dude?" is wild
I remember joining my parents in the living room for 2010 Olympics Opening Ceremony, and they informed me of what happened to Nodar.
I still can't believe they said it was safe to go down the track when the tests went over predicted speeds when it clearly never was safe period.
I was at the X games when Sara passed away. They had a candle vigil in the halfpipe before the event started. She was one of the most influential skiers in extreme sports, and there will never be another who was as much as a trailblazer as her
Mount Everest twice!?!?!?! Oh now you just doin shit to die 😂
That accident that ripped that young skier’s legs gave me nightmares last night. For real 😮
I'm in the medical field, and Reinstadler's scene was still very hard to watch : ( when I saw the position of his legs in the thumbnail image, I imagined it was a pelvic injury, but God... That poor, poor boy, holy shite!! My heart hasn't hurt this much since I watched a September 11 video years ago
Gernot Reinstadler is the most horrific case by far. I saw the concensored video and I will never forget it. Absolutely horrible.
5:22 that must’ve been so traumatizing for her kid…
I agree…
Cos fathers chucking themselves down a mountain is all good and mothers should just stay indoors wrapped in bubble-wrap. Why tf did this creator even feel the need to mention her child??
I kinda can’t sleep now 😕 idk why I watch these types of videos with ZERO reassurance and the fact that I know I’ll be afraid of everything on earth after 🤦🏾♂️
The Gernot Reinstadler crash in the feared Lauberhorn S-slot finish is by far the most horrifying live sports accident I ever saw. Fatal.
Here’s hoping I don’t end up in a tragic incident where someone makes a video about me while playing the damn Silent Hill soundtrack in the background…..
This video and the comments just seem crazy to me. The entire thing reeks of some guy just wanting to make a scary unsettling video about people dying, without really actually giving much of a shit about doing so in any way that's passably respectful (see the various puns and whatnot... "Things went *downhill*". Shut the fuck up). On top of that, as you said, fucking silent hill music? Really?
Its pretending to be a respectful video about the stories of the people involved in tragic accidents, but it's undercut by the reality that it's just a video about people fucking dying, with the occasional joke and horror music thrown in on top.
And then many of the comments are praising the videos quality and sensitivity towards the subject and it's making me wonder if they saw the same video.
@ryer9646trust me these channels tend to be cash grabs and copy and paste formats.
@ryer9646 Honestly, in my opinion, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Silent Hill has a nice soundtrack that is subtle and isn't, you know, the royalty free "spooky oOOoo" music the YT library provides. And background music often makes a video feel less empty than if it were just a voice. But yeah, the research could have been done better, and the tone of the video could have been less "this is scary" and more "this is tragic". I think the Silent Hill soundtrack is fine for that direction. But the red text highlighting certain words is kinda tacky. The "downhill" statement could have been unintentional, if we're willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
got curious about Gernot reinstadler, never will see skiing the same again
I think you accidentally slipped an uncensored image of SCP-096
Could you do horse riding (specifically eventing) deaths? I feel like the dangers of horse riding, eventing in particular, are severely underestimated.
I watched the Gernot Reinstadler crash live on TV as a child, and was traumatized for life. I think about the crash often. I never saw anything worse in sports, hands down.
I was watching the downhill racer live on tv when it happened. His suit filled up with blood so fast that I knew he wouldn't make it. I'll never forget that.
I'll just stay inside thanks.
We in the same boat
no, life its outside ! lets go see what cards we got !
@ Nah it's okay. I can go outside in videogames.
@MinouHime A truly sad reply from gen Z. Your going to wake up in 10 years and realize you didn’t live a life off your phone or video games, I’ve dislocated shoulders snowboarding and playing competitive hockey, but I don’t regret it at all.
@jayandrusiak lmao i am not gen z
The Gernot one made me traumatised
Nobody ever includes Adam Johnson. A hockey player who got his throat slashed by a skate
That season was just terrible for the Panthers, though this video says TV history and EIHL games aren't typically on tv.
18:28 I see what you did there
Fr
Good research on each accident with enough details to be informative but not too grisly. The only thing I could suggest is to get rid of the fake scream and be more considerate with your wording in some cases. The scream is just unnecessary and seems disrespectful to the victims you're talking about. Also I noticed some insensitive wording in a few places that could be taken offensively ( 9:05 is an example ). I don't want to seem like I'm nitpicking; I genuinely enjoyed the video and think your channel looks promising. I'd be interested to hear anyone else's take on the video btw. Good job overall!
Um yeah that was repulsive and could have easily been worded in a more compassionate way. I know he is trying to keep the watchers captivated but he has the ability to doing so without adding unnecessary disrespect to people who lost their lives. The family members could very well watch this and it’s actually more commmon than you’d think. I see comments like that all the time.
well said
truly agree , the way he talked about the dude being cut in half didn't make it any better.
Folks, not everyone is afraid or bothered to offend others. The commentator is German; he was actually holding back from being more direct.
What's wrong with "gone"??
at 8:30 i start hearing white noiz from the silent hill 2 soundtrack
Those "safety" nets don't seem to be very safe, since hitting them at normal racing speeds is fatal. You'd think it'd be safer to just not have nets. Obviously it would still be dangerous to fall off course, but hitting a tree or tumbling over terrain doesn't seem to be any more fatal than hitting those nets
These are just really unfortunate accidents, if they collided with a tree, they would guaranteed die. And tumbling would do the same or seriously injure them
In the case Gernot I think the safety nets should have a smaller gap cuz I’ve gotten my skis stuck in them before and is not fun to get them out otherwise I feel like they are somewhat necessary, i have been saved by them before
The "Yellow Skier" was my first "gore" video as a teen and it will be burned into my mind forever.
Same, that's how I learnt not to click on links sent by sketchy email addresses
ok im never going skiing ever
