“A spontaneous 6 meter ended what has been an awesome season. The crash fractured my right thigh, my pelvis three times and one rip. In addition I bruised my lung a bit. I’ve never been so scared before and never been so relieved to hear that non of the damages would be permanent.”

Definitely glad to hear Jakob Neuhauser was okay in the long run. Six meters (~19.7 feet) is quite a distance to fall but, based on his Instagram account, it seems like he’s managed to heal up just fine. Great reminder to always be aware of your surroundings when your skiing.
