Is he in one of the Ruling Class Hospitals or one of the Peon Hospitals?

Met him once years ago when he was in L.A. for a project. Nice guy and affable. Tells me he loves coming to America to vacation all the time as he jokes, no one ever recognizes him (and enjoy his vacations with family in peace) here unlike in Europe. Prayers for Mikey..

Sad, all those years driving like a mad man,, and he gets taken out by a rock on a ski slope.
No one knows what may come their way in this precious thing we call life. Grab it and hug it for all it is worth for it is fleeting, even more so than fame these days.
Prayers for the family and their champion.

Never heard of that but he did tell us he loves the open wide spaces of the American deserts.

I'll never forget Schumacher's appearance as 'The Stig' on the UK's Top Gear show. He's not REALLY The Stig, but a gracious man nonetheless. And one thing's for sure.. Schumacher is idolized in the UK!

I had the thrill of seeing Michael win the Argentine Grand Prix F-1 race back in the 90’s. He was trailing Mika for most of the race and when he made his pass and then shot past us into turn 1, the crowd behind us roared so loudly that you couldn't hear the noise of the cars! The people in the stands unfurled a HUGE Ferrari flag that almost covered the entire section. No one could see while holding the flag but it demonstrated their loyalty to the builders!
Let's pray that he survives this critical accident.

“Sad, all those years driving like a mad man,, and he gets taken out by a rock on a ski slope.”
It says a lot about how safe F1 cars have become over the last couple decades. And Schumi has had a few pretty spectacular wrecks in his driving career.
I hope he pulls through this, but I know he probably won’t be the same afterwards.

He’s not a professional skier. He’s a Formula One racing driver. And I don’t know this because I pay attention to sports, I know it because I read the article posted.
To: God luvs America
Reminds me of Mike Hailwood. Races bikes his whole life and dies in the family car because of a careless truck driver.

I used to go out with a German girl. She told me that her lifelong-dream (bucket-list thing, if you will), was to go out into the Great Plains and just drive around.
Never got to share the experience with her, but I know she's done it by now, and she's happy.

What terrible news - one of the all-time motor-sports greats, he turned Ferrari into a perennial F1 winner, and still a young man. Hopefully he recovers.
To: McGruff
Wonder how many other non famous skiers this happens to.
Given the numbers of skiers world wide, I think it's pretty rare.....
