A US sit-skier is reportedly stable and conscious in hospital after a serious crash during Sochi’s Paralympic Games.

Tyler Walker fell heavily during the men’s sitting downhill competition at Rosa Khutor Alpine Centre on Saturday and had to be airlifted from the slopes.

The 27-year-old cartwheeled several times at high speed and lay motionless on the snow before receiving attention from medical staff.

When I was in the hospital, I had a paraplegic doctor. She said she became paralyzed from skiing and that she still did it. I could never be that brave. It's not like another spinal injury can't happen. Yeesh!

Well, if he wasn't paraplegic before the crash, he sure is now!
