This looks more serious than first reported.

Yes, not looking good.
Amazing that he survives his racing career and then gets seriously injured whilst skiing.

He was skiing off-piste with his son in the French Alps on Sunday morning when the accident occurred

I think you'll find that he arrived at the hozzie in an agitated state (cerebral irritation) and was sent into an induced coma, both of which are quite normal with brain injuries  :victory:

I suspect that once they relieve the interracial swelling things will improve enormously, although, the lesions may not bode well for is future life, depending exactly where they are.

Many of us, usually older folks, walk round with several cerebral lesions and live our live unawares.

I hope the lad pulls through  :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

It might end his life! Crazy isn't it.

 :fingers: He makes a full recovery, but I wouldn't bet on it... :Pout:

One report said although wearing a helmet there was blood oozing from under it after his head hit a rock.
