In this funny skiing video of a ski accident, a skier goes onto a race course while a racer is training. The skiers collide in a horrible but funny way and the racer seems to be about to hit the other skier with his ski pole but holds himself back.

This ski video is a textbook example showing why one should stay away from ski racer training courses!

The ski accident in this video was filmed in Poiana Brasov, a ski resort in the Carpati Mountains in Romania. A really nice ski resort very different from the huge ski resorts in the Alps.

A training run on the Birds of Prey downhill race at Beaver Creek Ski Resort, near Avon Colorado in the Rocky Mountrains, turns tragic for Norwegian alpine skier Aksel Lund Svindal. As the ski racer speeds down the slope, he gets some big air off a lip and somersaults into the protective fencing. The skiing accident is horrible and he ends up in the hospital with career threatening injuries. He recovers  however, and a year later is back to World Cup ski racing getting his first two new victories at the same place he suffered his ski accident, at Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA.

The Birds of Prey downhill ski racing course is a challenging run with up to 45 degree slopes used for World Cup Skiing Super-G, and Super combined races. This run at Beaver Creek, Colorado, has a vertical drop of over 2600 feet This ski racing videos shows Norwegian Aksel Lund Svindal horrible accident during training for such an event. The ending showing him in the hospital reminds us that we can never be too careful when practicing extreme sports.
