I read that real fast and got excited. Thought it said Chuck Schumer.

its always the dumbass going off in to the back country


from the story i read earlier it said he was conscious at the scene and conscious and agitated on the way to the hospital
sounds to me like it could be a medically induced coma to reduce risk of further complications (my own assumption)

I read he was skiing with his kid and fell and hit a rock, but had a helmet on. But who knows. Liam Neesons' wife died from a similar type of injury a few years back. She was able to get up and walk away after the accident. Hope he recovers.

is that the definition of irony?

Hope he pulls through.

Kind of selfish, but I really want to get his autograph still. I have an instruction manual to a Tamiya 1986 CRX Si model kit with both Mario Andretti's and Helio Castroneves' autographs on it, I really wanted Schumacher on there too.

Mario said he used to have a 1G CRX and loved it, and Helio recognized it and said they're good autocross cars.

Every time I ride I go off into the trees. Best skiing is there.

Same here. Back country is more fun and more challenging. Just have to take your time and know your ability. When I saw this, I assumed he wasn't wearing a helmet. Damn. He must have went down pretty hard.

I've heard that people who wake up after 6 months have a steep road of recovery ahead of them. Hope he makes a speedy recovery.

i'm curious to see his quality of life, or expected quality of life
amazing he's even still alive at this point.
