Scott Macartney crash in Kitzbühel 2008

[derKrankeaffe]

ANALyse :D

[friedchikn1]

just saw him yesterday coaching for CMAC

[neckyscarf]

Crashes look much worse when seen in slow-mo.

[halfdeadndscreaming]

Switzerlands just for the best ones... not for beginners...

SWITZERLAAAAND....yeeeehaa

[mandisgoj]

Those helmets are ridiculus! They must get a safty latch or something. To unhook your helmet that easy means your hemet just will fall off if you have a hard crash.

[CecilKarner]

@mandisgoj Assinger, the guy in blue, explains that he is not showing a real racing-helmet, that it is his own helmet which has a bit more comfort as he is an ex-racer. He is just showing the system how to open and close a helmet and tells that for racing-helmets the used material is a bit more stable and not this plastic-stuff.

[brotsaft007]

[WailingSpliff]

@wuelke bin stolz auf kitzbühel, ich wohne dort, bin dort aufgewachsen und fahre im winter oft die streif im tiefschnee, bevor sie prepariert wird

[MrFloaustria]

@wuelke wenn nur die besten durch kommen würden würde man in kitzbühl nicht mehr fahren

[suemeforthat]

Maier had a nasty fall in Nagano 1998

[formel3000]

thats not german commentary

thats austrian commentary

the motherland of skisports!!!!!!!

[nemoxardas]

hast vollkommen recht^^

[Gabe2710]

AUSTRIA

[Atanasov92]

he lost his leg?

[maxauthority]

no, fortunately not. He was fit again after 24h.

[pokeplant]

today Daniel albrecht fall at the same place...

[bebe2794]

Thats why I think that "Kitzbühel" should watch out for more safeness at this place.

[Sylux102]

thats true now he had just one leg because the helicopter was not a medicin helicopter.....

[KlaLuigi]

good to know he´s ok

[cyberpine]

I agree.. had he only buckeled his helmet properly his leg would not have broken in 10 places.

[upthebracket26]

What a trooper, made it to the finish no matter what.

[carrotjuice555]

my dad would say..."walk it off!!"

[rawlax]

fkn dumbass sif he tells us he wil go down

[korg440]

so, from 1:40 this guy explains the complicated art of locking that thing up..... amazing... I though you had to go to college to do that....... thanks.. you have open my eyes

[BlindIAngle]

Recover, well? He lost his leg during the operation after his crash Ôo.

[Glandallin67]

nope, scott macartney didn't lose anything.... the austrian guy matthias lanzinger lost his leg

[airfreakmc51]

no...i dont really think you have any idea what ur talking about actuall

[Wibmus]

i saw lanzinger's crash on tv... i still can see the picture of his twisted leg in my mind...

[led0zeppelin1977]

yeah dude, it was matt lanzinger who cranked his leg in the kitz super g when he came over the blind knoll and caught his leg on a gate. scott mac just smacked his head up a little bit and had to take off time to recoup

[MacTobey]

lanzingers crash was in norway

[led0zeppelin1977]

my bad, youre right. lanzingers fall was much worse though

[MacTobey]

yes, im still shocked when i think about lanzingers horrific crash and the consequences. i never thought sth like that could happen in professional skiing.

[skiracer79]

yeah lanzinger had to get his leg amputated

[Todel82]

yeah skiracer79 had to get his leg amputated

[malinamixer1]

it's really a miracle that he is getting well fine...he's a lucky gay !!!

[Todel82]

Wenn schon pseudowichtig in englisch schreiben, dann bitte "guy" statt "gay" :-D

[sk8tolivvv]

Owned.

[patupoika]

Fucking moron learn to fly

[japancute23]

well done !!!

[PaxAfPax]

But that helmet is one of the best helmets in the world. That was a unbelievable force that you hit the ground with, I am just happy that you went out of the crash in one piece and are still able to race again soon. Get healthy now!

Best regards; Axel

[smacartney]

Just wanted to confirm that I am doing pretty well, not dead and want to thank the people who wished me well. I am at home recovering from an obvious concussion, but things are looking good. Not sure when I will be returning to racing- hopefully this year. If you are curious I talk about my POC helmet and more in my blog (at WCSN website) Thanks- Scott

[yeahdude7]

you suck dicks Scott?

[skate4vans]

yeahdude7, I really hope you have a crash similar to his, and then have people you dont even know make fun of you. asshole.

Scott, get better soon. we are all rooting for you.

[Greplop12]

Good news, great to hear. Good luck dude.

[tonerl]

Good to hear you're recovering. What a horrific crash man! I can't believe your racinghelmets have the simple plastic squeeze-lock. Seeing this, I'd say it's time for the double-D straps they use in roadracing... Anyhow. Get well soon!

[croninn]

Glad your recovering well, looking forward to seeing back with the team. ( I have seen bigger yard sales though :) )

[samboliano]

Come on! You must overcome this,Big hugh frrom Italy.

[El2Dani]

@smacartney Hi scott, it's been a while since your crash and your subsequent injury. But since you've retired at the end of last season I wanted to wish you well for your career after racing.

On another note I wanted to ask about your blog. Will you continue with that still?

[flyerholland]

respect for this dude and respect for the camara work.. did atleast didnt keep filming him when i was shaking after the fall.. and dont make comments like its normal or funny.. i hope that persons gets the same or worser..

..... its always the same reaction... hmmm how could it be

[FlashAtomic]

its not flying, its falling with stlye? hopefully he can laugh it off bless him

[taposthechi]

Ouch, i feel sorry for him but he failed :( better luck next time

[lead111]

ok i can under stand any f the comentary

[planrender]

you idiot dowm there with your comment hahaha, the guy was in a comatic sleep in hospital.

[2425026]

OMFG

[JDawgspalace]

"hahaha, its funny because i don't know him!" show some fucking respect!

[roe1004]

jesus that is some bad shit a have never ever seen a ski crash as bad as that b4

[connibonni]

[javiertaba]

[eristoffboy]

[DeLuxeCheer]

[jaesungyoun]

Did he die?

[ipeeinthebath]

Scheisse!

[alex3914]

mole mole mole

[rck2500]

had he ever skiid before?

[counterrevolucion]

Last Update: Scott left the hospital in Austria this morning and is on the way home. He is in a good condition and i guess we will see him back on the slope. Scott all the best

[Lucky7Slevin]

That´s not German commentary, it´s Austrian commentary.

Just by the way.

And it was a horrible crash, he was so lucky.

[Capitan768]

lol they speak german in austria

[baleadmmarke]

right, they only speak with an austria accent ;-)

[rattte]

But to call this really german is "a bit" bold^^

[Rosvolainen]

The strap on the helmet looked really primitive, like that on a bicycle helmet. Safety could be improved very much ny small measures in many sports. But sadly someone always has to die or get seriously injured before anything happens.

[phoenixprotector]

tottaly agreed. they never get that's something's wrong untill some1 is sent to a hospital. that's why in some cases they let the athlets give their opinion to improve something. peace

[lightbell]

lol Those Austrians....

Why cant they move off the Cameras when hes fallin That Sensation -sick Bastards

[vandermiauen]

we love falling amis

[omgkennyisliving]

der arme

des warn ech harter sturz

[FullTangViper]

ROFL

but his ski's came off quickly so he didn't get any career ending injury.

[schornik]

Wissts eh! Es wird Klagen geben wegen diesen Videos^^Haha

[KingPejaG]

arme siech...

[blkout15]

hahahahahaha fuckin ate shit!! shouldnt have been jumping that!

[youngduces]

idk

[SnapperWasHere]

He will be O.K.

Taken to hospital in Innsbruck, Macartney regained consciousness overnight and his coaches said he was making jokes again. He has apparently suffered no fractures.

Organizers added Macartney would stay under observation in hospital for a few days but a full recovery was expected.

[multikabel]

ya i belive that he got luck

[potmanbox]

he deserves it, just Joking :D hope he is ok

[dannymagic36]

Horrible crash. Bad news, just Googled to find out how he is. Bruised brain, but expected to make a full recovery with no surgery. Lucky chap. Makes you realise how dangerous it really is even with all the right protective gear. Get well.

[musicplace2]

AUW!!!

[strongi]

Was habt ihr gegen deutsche?

[nowayoutx]

omg 4 stars.....

[Zkiringsaal]

that hurt

[Lar0n]

youre dumb saying that this was a nice fall

[drvizzz123]

...

[Aaaminoff]

Seriously, have a little respect, he broke a number of legs, had a concussion, and has lost ability to speak for - in the worst case - the rest of his life!

[vittoriobaky]

I hope you'll fall like him, just so we can have fun laughing too. Accidents like these are not funny. You're a faggot.

[MrHonolulu]

What`s going on with you? When you fall down with 140 km/h and broke something should i say HAHA I hope he breaks his leg??? You are crazy man

[Oblivian79]

was he out when he hit the ice on first impact

[founation]

???

[868536]

JACKASS LOLLOLLOL Looks like the snow should get medal for fuckin him way up

[Wakka12321]

according to youtube, this is in the top of views today (which is 21 Jan) but according to the video it was posted 19 Jan. Weird?

[0WNinc]

ouch i rekon my vid is better tho check it much??

[blakka91]

hab ich gesehen . war geschockt

[counterrevolucion]

last update. Scott is doing well and is in good condition, he jokes and is looking forward to get back on the slope asap. he has had only a light concussion due to the fact his helmet absorb the impact energy of the crash. It´s a wonder he has broken no bone and is recovering so fast - he will leave the hospital the next days. Scott all the best !

[witchyone8180]

MEDICAL UPDATE: Scott is doing good. He's out of the induced coma and cracking jokes. He will remain in the clinic for a few days for observation before returning to the US for further medical examination. Doctors say he will be fine once his bruises heal. He suffered no fractures.

[theforealdeal]

wow a skier falling on his ass after 1 and 20 seconds of shit I don't understand. riveting.

[priceandpride]

i thought that guy had a mole on his face

[killbabyz4crack]

why was he shaking on the snow??

[1994cg]

what does that mean?

[delfonic3030]

that was brutal...

this is funny:

watch?v=P9P_qFve5lE

[1994cg]

why did you put john lennon's funral in a comment on a video about a skiing accident?

[xFl1ckx]

ط¢طںط§â€Œط©آ¹ط§â€Œط©آ¥ uo ط¦ئ'u!أ¢â‚¬عکoط¦ئ'أ¯آ»طں s!أ¢â‚¬عک طھâ€،ط©ع¯ط©آ¥طھع†

[1994cg]

what does that mean?

[daveyork0]

What terrible greed made him do that! That entire sport should be banned and it should be made illegal to offer prizemoney to encourage people to attempt to do things like that. Just look what happened! Think of the families. This is what it leads to. In the 21st century we do not need to have young men risking their lives as professional 'ski racers' like this for public entertainment.

[trojanpony]

you make it sound like he was forced to downhill ski against his break. do you drive a car? well you should STOP immediately. driving a car is far more dangerous than downhill skiing.

[trojanpony]

err...i meant "against his will. gimme a break."

[gegan249]

That's the funniest thing I have heard in awhile.

[daveyork0]

Wrong. When I drive I'm not trying to go as fast as I can without a damn for safety and my own wellbeing & b sure I won't b being cheered on and rewarded for 140km/h with NO seatbelf,

Its a sick sport. A killer sport. Is there any other which can smash brains like this? You don't see spasming like that in football.

Bring it to an end before it happens again and we witness a death.

Same for skijumping.

[trojanpony]

but again, no one is being FORCED to do it. these aren't roman gladiators. these are people who have made the conscious decision to risk their lives for the sport that they love. if YOU don't like it, then DON'T DO IT. but please don't tell other people how to live their lives.

[daveyork0]

this advertised spectacle should be banned. If they want to break their necks let them do it as a private activity for their personal satisfaction.

It is inhumane. Just as advertised skijumping, motorcycle jumps and cockfighting. How can anyone condone what has been allowed to happen to this man.

Yes we all know that a crowd forms to watch a man standing on the ledge of a high building.

[JoshuaGaffney]

It's called entertainment they take the risk you watch if you want to watch.

[stream0fspin]

dave, may i cite you? "blablabla, blabla! blablabla, blabla bla. blaabbblablalbaaaa."

[skimann13]

Advertised spectacle? Are you even familiar at all with the sport of ski racing? Downhillers take very calculated and controlled risks. They train for their whole lives and eat, sleep and breathe skiing. This is not spectacle, it's pure sport. If you don't like it, then stop searching for it and talking about it on youtube. Let the people who love it do it and leave us alone.

[OliverAB]

Daveyork, crashes like this dont happen all the time.

And I dont see many comments on here going

AWESOME OH THAT WAS SO COOL!

and I'm sure none of the people there that day chalk that up as a good experiance.

Before you insult an entire sport maybe you should do some reasearch in how people act in the real world.

[TicTac2]

Is Wikipedia correct with regards to doctors saying he will make a fast complete recovery?

[crazymrlee]

geh bitte der hahnenkamm wird seit 40 jahren nur entschärft. Das heute ist kein vergleich zu den abfahrten in den 60ern. Ja, aber pech kannst halt immer noch haben...

[Todel82]

DICH möcht i mal mit angeschnallten Skiern am Start sehn und zuschau'n ob du die erste Kurve packst!

[crazymrlee]

lol. kein problem. bin skilehrer in salzburg in die streif schon mehr als einmal gefahren...

[koowiey]

Jeez....he got all cold and started shivering. And then some bastard throws a helmet at him? wtf.

[cheesegrinder4life]

he had a seizure then his helmet (that fell off before) hit him.

[WhiteLadyEowyn]

Koowiey, he did not shiver cause of cold, he was having convulsions or a seizure from his head injury.

And the helmet was not thrown at him, thats his helmet coming down the slope at him.
