My Dad's accident seconds after colliding head first into a metal starting gate left half way down a boarder-cross track.

He had multiple deep cuts around his head and his ear half ripped off. He's barely conscious for the 20 minutes until a heli took him to hospital.

He survived the crash and spent 3 days in hospital. He made a full recovery with scarring around the forehead and ears.

My thanks to the people who came and helped me out with my Dad by calming me down and offering cigarettes, whoever you are you are life savers! And to the instructors and medics who saved his life.

Does red snow taste better than yellow snow?

Three days in hospital, then back on the slopes (@ 2:46).
Death video, the real face of death.

Glad your dad was OK and went back to skiing.

It's a shame that didn't happen in the US, that would be a huge lawsuit.
