UPDATE: Michael Schumacher “fighting for his life” say doctors
The medical team caring for Michael Schumacher in France says he is still “fighting for his life” following the skiing accident he suffered on Sunday morning. Contrary to some rumors he has not undergone a second operation, but he remains in a medically induced coma.
The seven-time world champion suffered a severe head injury after hitting his head on a rock, and is currently undergoing treatment at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Grenoble.
During a press conference on Monday morning, the doctors looking after Schumacher made it clear just how serious the German’s injuries were, and said it was too early to offer a prognosis.
Professor Jean-Francois Payen said: “I would say that this accident was particularly serious and was dealt with immediately at our hospital. He was immediately operated on after a brain scan and afterward his condition is critical.

No helmet can stop the brain from impacting the inside of the skull during near-instantaneous deceleration of the head.
