Michael Schumacher badly hurt in ski accident

[Fryto]

I hope to wake up tomorrow morning, open the newspages and read that he's ok...

 

[Ninners]

News Reports say he is in a coma, oh no

 

[GTPorsche]

News Reports say he is in a coma, oh no

It's medically induced. Normal for head injuries.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Nah, they've all been broken by pointy fingers.

He holds plenty of fastest laps and most wins at tracks that either aren't run anymore. Vettel doesn't have nearly as many records as people think.

 

[GTPorsche]

@GTPorsche Mirror is garbage sensationalist tabloid stuff, but all reports are saying he is in critical condition now. Everyone on GTP, pray for the best, and let's hope he makes a full recovery from this.

I thought they were, but wasn't sure. Not fully familiar with British media.

 

[Pilitev]

I've read he needs a neurosurgical intervention (to release pressure/blood?) Hope he gets out of this without any serious brain damage.

 

[Johnny1996]

I've never seen him race, since my first season of watching F1 came in 2013, but nevertheless, get well soon, Mr. Schumacher. May the best be with you.

 

[WJHMH]

My thoughts & prayers are with Michael Schumacher & his family after learning of his horrible skiing accident.

 

[Turbotwin01]

Oh man I hope he comes out alright.

 

[MXH]

I hope he makes it through. It would otherwise be an awful way to end this year.

Get well soon, Michael!

 

[GTPorsche]

Yeah, especially since 2013 has been filled with driver deaths.

 

[ECGadget]

Come on Schumacher... 92nd Win... just one more...

 

[Alex.]

Was just about to say that. Let's have number 92.

Unfortunately this does not appear to be a hoax. Prayers go out to him and his family.

Don't think anyone suggested it was hoax either.

EDIT Treed.

BBC news says his injuries are "serious, but not life threatening". Hopefully he'll be ok.

 

[RVDNuT374]

Sorry for creating a duplicate thread. I forgot to check the Current Events Forum.

Brain hemorrhaging is not a pretty thing. Quite a few people have died from that: Sonny Bono, Natasha Richardson both died of the same injury and literally had same initial diagnosis.

Natasha Richardson didn't immediately seek medical attention. I'm not fully familiar with Sonny Bono's injury and resulting death, and the events surrounding how it played out. I just know he hit a tree.

From what I read he ultimately slipped into a coma before arriving at the hospital he is at now. Perhaps it would be best to keep him in a coma now, but it doesn't sound good. It's like a stroke. Time lost is brain lost. I hope I'm wrong about all this. I really hope he pulls through.

 

[Solid Lifters]

Wow, just horrible. Puts his life on the line racing in F1 and now this. Helmets while skiing/snowboarding is a good idea.

Hope he pulls through.

 

[chrisjohnson93]

I hope that he manages to recover from his injuries. Hopefully the injures don't affect his life at all.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Yeah, especially since 2013 has been filled with driver deaths.

Was just going to say that, 2013 has been a crap year all around but especially in Motorsports. I'll be glad when it is gone.

I'm using this link to follow this, it's pretty decent too.

Far, far more likely it was medicaly induced, not sure where you may have seen that report.

Follow @former_f1 doc who is Gary Hartstein or check is timeline for his medical report on injury procedures similar to MS's.

What a terrible thing to happen. My thoughts are with you Michael.

Dutch Media now report that he is in coma

Poor guy never catches a break

German news say Michael Schumacher suffered a bad head injury in a ski accident.
Not much further information by now. Schumacher was on a ski trip in Grenoble, Police is investigating.

Hope he gets better soon and recovers from this tragic accident.
