Yikes

And just to prove an earlier point, helmets while a great thing are not the save all. Scott Macartney this weekend took a nasty spill at the Kitzbühel races. The impact appears to have knocked his helmet clear off his head (video footage can be found online elsewhere). I'm sure the damage would have been worse had he no helmet, but the impact looked pretty bad.

Good news is there are plenty of reports saying he has been making some great strides in recovery. Good luck Scott, and hopefully you and I will both be back on the skis in no time. :)
