After watching Crash Reel I’ve decided that I won’t be skiing or snowboarding again. ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > After watching Crash Reel I’ve decided that I won’t be skiing or snowboarding again. 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”. ---

Wear a helmet when skiing. I used to laugh at people that did, then cracked my head on some ice one day hope for a speedy recovery ---

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. ---

> [@Shockwave179](#): > > 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. ---
