The NSA has already looked at the X-rays, and say its not a big deal. :)

bad month for germans no the ski slope- first Michael Schumacher now Merkel
You may not know this, but cross-country skiing is far more typically done on trails rather than wide open slopes. You're really locked into a track, or cutting one.

Ouch! Well, at least she can get around.

Sorry to hear this. fractured pelvis is a serious injury — and can be permanently debilitating for an older person.

I *knew* she shouldn't have hired this guy as her coach...

On a more serious note, best wishes to Ms. Merkel for a swift and speedy recovery.

Remember what happened to Natasha Richardson.
I used to be a very good skier and would ski really serious terrain--steep deep powder in the aspens, jumping off cliffs, ridiculous bumps, etc. I was never hurt doing that stuff. (Yes, stupid, but I gave it up after my second baby.) But I was badly hurt on the baby slopes: going in and out of the gondola building, helping my kid ski into a restaurants, and so forth, when out-of-control bunnies smashed into me. It really is usually when you're going slowly and there are skiers of very different skill levels merging, as near restaurants or trail crossings, that you have many accidents. When we went skiing as a family we took our children into the forests to avoid other skiers.
One Freeper is a ski patrolman, so perhaps he can confirm what I say.

Remember what happened to Natasha Richardson. Sadly, I do. She was in my top five list of most beautiful actresses.
