Fluke Ski Jumping Accident at a World Cup Event

Here is a video of a crazy ski jumping accident that happened at a World Cup Event in Zakopane, Poland held in January 2007.

There were strong, variable winds causing problems for the ski jumpers. In this ski jumping video, Jav Mazoch, one of the competiors, seems to be doing fine after taking off from the ski ramp.  Then, a fluke air pocket causes him to lose lift and he takes a terrible fall.

He ended up being in a coma and had some brain injuries but has since recovered and has resumed ski jumping.

Hilarious Ski accident! Skier Does a Jump and Crashes Into a Wall of Snow!

Here’s a funny ski jumping video of a hilarious accident. The skier jumps of a 2m high ramp in the backcountry trying to land on a landing that’s higher than the jump. He fails to clear the gap, mistaking the speed required to clear it, and crashes into the wall of snow head first! This video is legendary.

Skiing into Corbet’s Couloir at Jaskon Hole. Guy Gets Injured!

Corbet’s Couloir is the most famous and hardest run at Jackson Hole in Wyoming.  It is one of the few slopes to have its own wikipedia article! Here are some highlights:

“Currently rated #4 on the top fifty things for skiers to do before they die, it holds an international reputation among expert skiers, and has been described as “America’s scariest ski slope”

“Entrance into the couloir requires dropping off a cornice with a free fall ranging from 10 to 30 feet (9.1 m) depending upon snow conditions, landing on a 60 plus degree slope.”

So it’s pretty hard. In this ski video, we see the guy skiing up to the ski run, past a big “CLOSED” sign. They chill up at the top and watch a guy ski down it nicely. The camera man’s friend then jumps in, doesn’t look too good. We are then informed that he “yard saled” and see him collecting his equipment. Ends up he has an ACL injury, that sucks. Awesome run though!

Compilation of 3 Cliff Drops Over 200 Feet High

Crazy skiers dropping 200+ feet on skis. Check out the 2nd one, he almost hits a huge rock at the bottom, must be inches away from it! The mini avalanches he creates while getting speed for the jump are pretty cool. The highest is 245 feet. I can’t imagine what goes through their minds as they jump…

If you are wondering why they are landing upside down but slightly on their backs after the cliff drops it’s because the force of the landing will probably break their legs.

Here’s the name and height of each crazy high cliff jump:

• Titus Engelborg ski jumps off a 210 foot high clif
• Leo Brayman sk jumps off a 230 foot high cliff
• Jamie Pierre ski jumps off a 245 foot high cliff

Ski Tricks over a Huge Gap at Whistler

Professional skiers jumping over a gap doing many crazy tricks such as 1080 inversions, flips, grabs, and many combinations. If you’ve played the tony hawk type games on the different consoles, the tricks these professional skiers do in this extreme skiing video are very similar.

The jump is man made at Whistler, in the Rockies. The gap I estimate is about 5m, and the skiers are in the air for a good 3-4 seconds!
