Sadly, Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher’s condition has worsened this evening.
Tonight, respected local newspaper Dauphine Libere reported that the German’s life was in danger.
A report filed at 7.20pm read: ‘The state of health of the veteran driver has worsened and his condition is considered life-threatening, according to our information’.
The Dauphine is one of the most respected papers in the Alps, and has outstanding medical contacts.
An hour before, a surgeon specialising in brain and spinal injuries arrived at the hospital where Schumacher was being treated for a ‘very serious’ head injury.
He was skiing off-piste in the Alps. That’s about as far from the kind of skiing you can do in WNY as you can get. It’s like watching a Bonneville speed record car crash and saying, “that’s it, it’s too dangerous for me to drive to work”.
Yup, it’s common sense. Unfortunately people with helmets still ski above their ability sometimes.
This sounds pretty serious from what I’ve read. I hope he pulls through. Would be a pretty devastating loss for the motorsports community if otherwise.
yeah this dude is arguably the best race car driver alive or at least was for quite a while.
the mirror link above is talking more about recovery now than death which is a good sign. sounds like it could keep this guy out of a car for a long while if not forever though.
You can still die with a helmet on. I don’t know if he’s on here but burnsmoney’s ex-gf’s friend died in Colorado last year. Her head made contact with a rock, had a helmet on.
