    She was going 115 KM!! That’s 71mph !! I can’t even imagine!! You have to have balls of steel to be able to do that sport no doubt!!

      Well, let's hope for her sake she doesn't have balls. Then it would be Nick and not Nicole.

      There was only one time in my life when I was skiing >100 km/h on a straight, steep slope. Never again. I can't even imagine turning at that speed.
      BIG respect to all alpine-skiers, legs made of steel and balls heavier than whole universe.

      @@cwir88 Yeah, I second that. You don't get the sense of the speed when the cameras are panning and the camera lenses flattens angles so it doesn't look as steep as it really is. I remember skiing in one of those WC hills once and when I arrived to the first steep section I froze. NO way am I going full throttle down there.

    These accidents are not preventable but knee injuries are. A quick wireless ski release button placed on top of the poles will unlock the skis preventing the knees to be torn.

      That's not at all what happened. She did not break any bones. Her left knee was dislocated, tearing all the ligaments. Much, much worse than any broken bones could be. Broken bones would take a couple of months to heal. Her knee blowout will take at least a year, and might never be back to 100%.

    Downhill has got Murphy's Law written all over it.
    Simply a very dangerous sport.

    Now this is why we will never see women race the infamous Kitzbühel hill or any other male downhill course. They are not physically equipped to resist the hill forces, it's way too dangerous.

      A man could just as easily have crashed like this. Her being a woman had nothing to do with it.

    • @Underhills
      @Underhills 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@korinnab.2318 I beg to differ. This is a typical female crash, a man would have avoided this on pure physical strength. When men crash in downhill it's in tuffer conditions. Women and men race different courses. It's a reason for that. If it was no physical differences men and women would have raced the same courses. It's as simple as that.
