Michael Schumacher hurt skiing

[red_slr]

Ross Brawn arrived just a few mins ago - and other close friends on the way
Don't like the sound of that at all.

Would be a very sad end to the year if he dies, a legend of Motorsport. Really hope it tuns out ok but it does sound bad.

[Mark-C]

Mixed messages since it happened. Fingers crossed it's not as bad as it currently seems.

Good luck to Michael and thoughts with his family.

Shall we not ruin yet another topic with petty arguing.

All my best wishes in the world right now go out to him and his family. Fingers crossed.

Please stop with the daft comments.

Coma due to deteriorating condition, not induced

Is that confirmed or just more speculation?

Sky TV, make of that what you will

Echoes of Natasha Richardson's Accident here. She hit her head and was lucid enough to refuse treatment. She fell into a coma a few hours later and died two days after the accident. The lessons learnt have been applied here. Schumacher was wearing a Helmet and the Medical Team obviously kept him under observation so when the injury became apparent they could move quickly. Lets hope that saves him. Sad for his Son. He was the one with him when they were skiing "off piste". Last thing your kids need is seeing you that ill.

This sounds like the sort of trauma injury suffered by many boxers down the years, with outcomes of varying seriousness. It does not sound at all good and I am very concerned. The only positive is that he received prompt medical treatment, which I believe is vitally important in such cases.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

Totally agree that post was despicable!

[Kinky]

Moronic, hateful, vicious, trolling and pretty damn stupid posts have been removed from this thread.

Let's keep it simple ..... any more will result in insta-perma-ban. This is NOT the time nor place for stupid, idiotic and simply thoughtless posts. Tolerance and acceptance levels=0.

Era sorry that was premature updates still coming

I hope I wake up in the morning to good news and that he is on the mend.

Quite a lot of claims and rumours on there it seems. Isn't helping matters for folks trying to keep on top of things.

Funnily enough she was the first person I thought of when I heard about Schumi. Like you say he was wearing a helmet. Fingers crossed he pulls through. Gary Hartstein has some informative tweets as someone has already mentioned on here.
