I don't have Netflix and haven't watched it yet. However I was watching old F1 races on youtube a couple of days ago.

This Schumacher guy interesting.

I am still curious why he left Renault/Benetton to join Ferrari? If he had stayed with Renault he probably would have won even more World Championships.

The documentary says he joined Ferrari as a challenge. To deliver what some considered impossible.
 
Being old is a risk in itself. In fact old age is known to be 100% fatal.

All the more reason why everyone young and old should get together and live life the fullest because you never know what will happen to tomorrow.

Michael Schumacher survived 4 decades of motor racing with barely a scratch. His worst injury was a broken leg.

He retired to lead a safer life and ended up severely brain damaged from a family ski outing.


If you look at the spot where he fell and hit his head (0:55 onwards) it is not a steep area. And he was not going fast.

Freak accident!
 
Sometimes, shit just happens.

Actually all this time I had in my mind it was some off piste expert terrain and he was going fast fell and crashed.

It looks more like he hit a rock with skis tripped and fell - head landing on its side hitting a rock and smashing. The side of the head temporal bone is the weakest part of the skull.

Damn suay.

But that area really full of big rocks. Shouldn't go there. I read that he went there to try to help his friend's daughter who had gone into that area and got stuck in the deep snow. Hai see lang.
 
Sounds like he wasn’t wearing a helmet. Most skiers don’t, from what I’ve seen.

No. All accounts say he was wearing a helmet. But it shattered when it hit the rock.

As a skier myself I can imagine what happened. It is possible. The area he was skiing in although is not steep and he was not going fast, the problem is it is full of rocks. And not just those big rocks you see. Likely many mid and small rocks under the snow as well. So he could have been unprepared and hit one of those "sharks" as we call it (like the dorsal find in the sea but on the snow) under the snow then lost balance and crashed into one of those BIG ROCKS.

The key is the BIG ROCKS. Usually you go into an area no big rocks.....say you fall, you land on the snow. Softer. It is ok.

I think the ski resort should have put some fencing to cordon off that extremely rocky area.

In Alberta the ski resorts would have fencing and warnings. And also when I see these big rocks, I know that there are many many more rocks under the snow. And if it hasn't been skiied down, you will hit them when you go into the area.

I am used to seeing fencing like this
