Hermann Maier fall, Nagano 1998

[eldougliano]

watch that knee fold after his first bounce. and he RIPPED the SG and GS, beating out Eberharter and Von Greunigen, for his second gold. legendary!

[VoodooChildsReturn]

This guy is an idol of mine, an inspiration as to what can be accomplished with determination and hard work.

[led0zeppelin1977]

@skiing123ify what show would this be, and what purpose would that accomplish?

[beastlypenguin1]

Well he is just a little bit of a beast now isn't he

[gibson1789]

Hermann Maier is 17 feet tall and made of radiation and testosterone

[aslanarkungpapoker]

and three days later he won the gold medal....... :)

[LuckyLukeHogan]

he was great, and fearless is an under statement. Best Austrian racer since the cut ski revolution. But I think it is a close race between him and Franz Klammer. Who is the winner? I cannot decide.

If you like this look at the 246 meter jump some scandanavian guy did.

[dashidash]

i was calmly eating dinner with my dad while watching this. as soon as the crash happened, we both dashed up from the table and to the TV to see if we really saw what we saw. we're like, "he's dead, cuz i mean...come on".

then he got up. and knew i was looking at a demigod.

[0011blackbird]

@skiing123ify lol?

[75426168]

FUCK i think i'd would be dead after that ^^

[Rikutubes]

he was really lucky. after 3 days from the crush, he won at SG.

[fjmi]

@Il0vekramer what a stupid comment!

[Il0vekramer]

@fjmi hahahahahaha.

[NewDay923]

One of the greatest comebacks in an olympics ever. No wonder he was nicknamed "The Herminator".

Hermann Maier is the man which every Chuck Norris-line is based on.

[litjourney]

That could have been really bad, but it happened to be the perfect crash. He landed on his back while hitting the safety wall perfectly.

[nintendowiirocks111]

luckily he landed on his back if he would have landed akwardly on his skis he could have messed up his leg but still thats gotta hurt BAD

[plamsitybg]

Не мога да повярвам , че оживя!!! Херминатора е велик!!!

[CJAnonymous]

After getting up from this fall, Herman Meier won twenty gold medals in ten different sports, threw a car across a room, and destroyed a concrete bunker with his bare hands.

True story.

I'll never forget watching this live and then seeing Hermann come back and win a few days later. His determination to just  make the Austrian team despite setbacks is heroic.
