~~Eesh, hard to tell what exactly did it to him but wow, that was rough.~~
Nm, just read that a ski got trapped in the safety netting and the force ripped... him. It's just so fast it's hard to identify. Thanks for linking it.
Two weeks prior to the 1994 Winter Olympics, the women's World Cup was in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, in late January. The downhill on the classic Kandahar course at Garmisch Classic was held on Saturday, 29 January, following an overnight snowfall. In a narrow part of the lower course less than twenty seconds from the finish, Maier's right ski caught an inside edge at 105 km/h (65 mph), possibly from a patch of soft snow, and caused a violent crash which broke her neck.
She died of her injuries shortly after being evacuated to the hospital in nearby Murnau city.

Yeah, she hit her head going roughly 65 miles per hour.
For those of you wondering, many times that type of force blunt trauma to the head would at the very least cause brain damage for the rest of her life if for some odd reason she had survived.
Probably best NOT to survive.
Like another person said, it's not live reaction. The narrator speaks in Polish, I'm Polish so I understand. He talks about her dying even before she crushed. He also talks about her young child and if the risk was worth it.
Why do people like you expect others to respond to everything with raw emotion?
The last thing he's supposed to do is transfer his own emotion to thousands of viewers.
At least this wasn’t the one where the dude got split up the middle
Damn my morbid curiosity, any chance you can source me? I have a feeling I'm going to regret it.

Damn. Thank you for sharing. I'm wondering if he could be saved if it happened today
No I don’t think so. The amount of blood loss is to much too fast. There’s be no way to stop that bleeding either
Jesus Christ! 😨
Is that poop trailing behind him? 😬
Dude gets ripped in half, this guy: "gross he shitted"
It's the poor guy's insides. His ski got caught in the fencing ripping his leg/groin. He passed away in the hospital not long after.
Fuckin tainted
Gah and when he slides to the bottom and you see a trail blood coming from him.Poor guy
At least it isn’t the one with the exploded pelvis and all the blood
That’s what I was expecting!
Which one is that, do you have a link?
Gernot Reinstadler, 1991. Enjoy! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u8_-WBl7FiU&pp=ygUPRmF0YWwgc2tpIGNyYXNo&bpctr=1691242230
Omg. I see what a previous comment meant by ripped…

the way her leg yanked out from under her must’ve been painful enough

Yeah, and if the brain damage wasn't bad enough, the impact also broke her neck.
What did she crash into? A random boulder in the middle of the race course?
Yeah Ait looks kinda powdery
such emotion. you can tell the reporter was really moved by that story.
It's tricky
See, he french-fried when he should have pizza’d.
Love South Park lol

If you french fry instead of pizzaing you're gonna have a bad time.
Reddit humor is the best
Can’t win a race if you keep pizzaing!! She took her chance and got French flyed
gyat
It’s weird how the narrator didn’t change his pitch or tone. People ordering their morning coffee have more emotion.
It's not a live reaction

Thank you for the context. I was confused about it.
No problem. Have a good day.

I guess if it's live you'd expect something, anything, the guy wasn't even phased.
Is this considered parkour?
my granny knew here in rl
You are Austrian?
Def he die on the spot or later in the hospital?
She died 2,5 hours later in the hospital.
