Aerial Ski Accident in Torino

Here is a video of an accident at a ski aerial competition in Torino, Italy. As the skier takes off, he loses his skis immediately and does 4 flips before he disappears in the horizon.

Ski Jump Crash Landing

A guy does a 720 grab off a jump he built with some friends in the back country. He takes off, everything looks like it’s going well, but everything changes once he touches the ground. He lands and then flips over himself no less than 7 times while staying stiff as a wooden board.

Gotta hurt, next time tuck your head in!

Extreme Mountain Ski Accident

Just as he starts to ski down a 800 foot vertical drop high up in the Chugach Mountains near Valdez Alaska, Garret Bartelt’s ski tip catches the ground and flips him over. There are rocks sticking out everywhere and the path is pretty narrow at times. Garret end up falling the hole way down miraculasely missing most of the rocks in the way, only hitting 5 of them. He survives the accident with only a compound fracture to his leg and some cuts and bruises. That was one amazing fall, not many people can fall like that and survive to tell the story much less with only minor injuries.

Fred Syversen 107 meters (351 feet) cliff drop world record

Talk about a mix a good luck and bad luck. Fred Syversen was filming for the movie “Nuit de la Glisse” when he mistankangly follows a wrong fall line and skis off a cliff. Although he suffered some minor injuries, he is alive an well as can be seen in the video.
