Blimey.

I thought he was dead when he started having spasms. Its not usually a good sign.
Glad he is going to be OK.

American skier Scott Macartney suffered a brain injury in a heavy crash in Saturday's World Cup downhill in Kitzbuehel, Austria.
The 30-year-old crashed at full speed at 88mph, slid 60m, lost his helmet and suffered spasms after losing his balance on the final jump of the run.
