Well said. Woods with golf as well, they made the 2nd best in the world look like amateurs.
For those of us too young to appreciate Senna, Schumachet was the boss. Strategic, calculated, cold, ruthless. A champion.
I hear it's not looking good.

when i heard it was a ski-ing accident i said to my wife that i bet he was ski-ing off piste and hit his head on a rock. So many people still dont wear helmets ( I know he was ) and going off piste can be very dangerous to anyone. I hope he recovers and that would be an awful way for him to go.

A few years back one of my mates I was snowboarding with decided to hire a crash helmet for the day. Noone else did. An hour later he wiped out hit a rock and cracked the crash helmet.
He was a bit concussed but that bit of prescience saved him a lot of trouble and we all bought a crash-hat straightaway.

I've skied Meribel several times, I know the area quite well. I've been watching some video footage I shot last January in the area he had his accident. Not a particularly high risk area, really makes you think.
Hope this encourages a few more to wear helmets.
Skiing is not a particularly dangerous sport, serious accidents are rare when you take into account the number of people participating. You're more likely to get injured travelling to a ski resort than you out on the slopes.

Similar to why i got one. I saw one guy on a hill try to do a back flip of a park feature and smacked his head. He died. I think after that all my mates and I got helmets. Before that you never used to see people with helmets as everyone wanted to just ride with wolly beanies for the look. I actually prefer wearing a helmet now, more ventilation and you don't steam up your goggle when you lift them up.
I still see some people though with the cheap helmets. IF you are going to get one its worth getting a good one that fits and has the right kind of shock absorption.
