This must be some educational vid Scott put up for us, if we keep watchin over and over we'll increase our German vocab! And the only time we'll be able to use our new skills is when we go skiing in 'ckin Germany or Austria! :(
I went skiing last week, if only someone filmed me, you'd have sen more pain in my vid than in this educational video.

and for the whole spiel of what is a frightening... but not the worst-i've-seen-by-far-sk iing-crash...
"American skier Scott Macartney suffered a brain injury in a heavy crash in Saturday's World Cup downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria.
The 30-year-old crashed at full speed at 88mph, slid 60m, lost his helmet and suffered spasms after losing his balance on the final jump of the run.
Doctors arrived by helicopter and after treating him for 15 minutes, he was airlifted to hospital in Innsbruck.
He suffered bruising to the brain but did not require surgery.
A race organiser said: "He was taken to hospital in Innsbruck where he was admitted to the neurological department.
"He is under observation for bruising on the brain but no surgery has been performed."
Macartney has two podium finishes to his name, he was third in the Val Gardena World Cup downhill in December and in January 2006 finished second at the World Cup super-G at Garmisch in Germany.
...
US team-mate Marco Sullivan had to race not knowing how Macartney was.
He said: "It was hard to blank your head after seeing Scott's crash.
"I did not know anything about him being OK or not when I started.
So under the circumstances, finishing sixth was OK for me. "There are more important things to life than skiing."

Macartney Recovering After High Speed Crash
INNSBRUCK, Austria (Jan. 20) - Two-time Olympian Scott Macartney (Crystal Mountain, WA) said Sunday he remembered his run during the 68th Hahnenkamm downhill but has no memory of the high-speed crash, which put him in a hospital. He's looking forward, though, to returning to racing.
Macartney, who was marking his 30th birthday, had been savoring one of his most successful seasons. He claimed the first downhill podium of his career when he was second last month on the rugged course in Val Gardena, Italy.
He suffered a severe concussion Saturday when he crashed coming off the last jump on the famed Streif in Kitzbuehel and slid across the finish line. After being taken to a Kitzbuehel hospital, he was taken by helicopter to University of Innsbruck Hospital and spent the night in the intensive care unit.
"My run felt pretty good," he said. "I nailed the sections up above that I wanted to and I carried good speed. I think I was fifth up there and, overall, I had a really good run. But I'm not sure what I did on the last jump. Maybe I didn't move forward enough or something, but I got out of balance in the air and crashed."
Macartney had, indeed, nailed his targeted sections. He was number two in the second intermediate section and had a pair of top-10 intermediate times. He was second fastest at the first speed trap, fifth at the second and was the fastest on the bottom at 141.2 kph.
He slept through the night "and I've kind of been dozing through the day," he said. U.S. Head Coach Phil McNichol and waxing technician Doug Coombs were with Macartney as he watched the slalom from Kitzbuehel on television.
"It's hard to say at what point I'm coming back to racing. I'd like to get right back but I have to take care of a couple of bumps and bruises," he said. He expects to return to the United States this week for further medical evaluation.
"I'm just trying to deal now with it in little pieces, and move on from here," said the Dartmouth College graduate, who came through the Crystal Mountain racing program.
McNichol, who was with Macartney in the hospital Saturday night, returned Sunday morning to catch the slalom on TV. "He's doing great, considering. His spirits are good. He's bummed because he crashed and lost what could have been a good result. He's got to go home for a closer medical examination, but he wants to stay and get back to racing. We've got a spot for him whenever the doctors say 'Scotty Mac' is ready to go again." "

THIS IS A WORSE CRASH FOR STARTERS...
i can't find it on NTOXIC...
http://www.liveleak.com/v iew?i=91037d2a41
It ended Todd Brooker's career.
Interestingly one of the comments about the vid says
"there is a vid where a skier crashed during a
professional competition. during that crash the
skier got stuck in one of the fences and a leg got
torn off. anybody knows where i can find that vid,
its (so called) legendary footage in the skiing
sport "
that sounds too good too be true... bit like the ice hockey throat cut footage that i didn't believe... which turned out to be oh so true and good...

which i also can't find on NTOXIC...

I like how is subconcious brain allows his body to come to a complete standstill before it goes into spasm mode.

Terrible fall, but i couldn't help laugh at the irony of his crash helmet clipping his leg as it overtakes his convulsing body.
F4M0U54NU5 [ban] | Jan 22 08 : 2:02pm

Jericho, I had to thumbs-up your comment because it made me laugh! I, too, hate not being able to edit my posts!!!
Thank god I'm not the only one who thought he looked like he had to reward himself for taking such a hard hit by indulging in a bit of self-pleasure. I suppose it WOULD help get his mind off of the pain...
