Skiing down a road at 20-30mph with no helmet or protective gear on skis the size of pencils what could possibly go wrong. I take it these guys haven't heard of Michael Schumacher.

Was he a famous skier? What happened to him, did he also use too small skies?

Schumacher suffered a severe injury to his brain when his head hit a rock after he fell while skiing off-piste in the French Alps on December 29, 2013. To this day, he continues to require round-the-clock care from close family members and a team of medical professionals.
