Wow. That's so scary to think of, and I can't even imagine what's going through his son's mind right now.
My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family, and the doctors and nurses working on him...

Reports say he wasn't on anything but a groomed slope, no trees etc, not extreme skiing at all, and not going fast, this happened on a typical "turning maneuver" but he hit is head on a rock which "split his helmet in two"
Does anyone have a link to a news item on this that makes more sense?

only thing I got is a News reporter skiing down the slopes with a helmet camera where it happened, there are rocks everywhere, oh but its in German.

This one seems to make the most sense. I always take what I find on the internet with a healthy dose of skepticism until confirmed by multiple sources. Saw several google links to the same type of article sooo..
If this is to be believed.. he was off-piste (the marked course i gather) and his ski hit a buried rock which catapulted him head first onto other rocks. The article has conflicting statements about how fast he may have been going though. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mot...not-speed.html "Schumacher is reported to have been travelling at up to 50mph when he slipped and hit his head on a rock in an off-piste area at Meribel in the French Alps on Sunday. But his spokeswoman Sabine Kehm said: "Michael and the group had been skiing on normal slopes. In between red and blue slopes there was an [off-piste] area and they went into that. He helped a friend who had fallen and went into deep snow, hit a rock and was catapulted into the air and landed head down. It was extreme bad luck, not because he was at speed." EDIT: just found this link that seems to be more current and backs up the first article. http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/f...47436--f1.html
