Thundercat 60 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I read about this earlier today. It seems there are some questions about the size of that last jump. Wonder if there will be investigations into the track design. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 That's terrible! I don't know anything about ski cross but surely there should have been more of a run-off area, to draw an analogy with motor racing circuits, to take into account those kind of accidents??

Namakemono 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Nasty. I always feel they are way close to each other. I suppose that's the point. Link to post Share on other sites
rider69 18 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 A very bad accident but not the end of the sport. The fence was only that close because it was the last jump before the finish. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Top Tip to ski cross competitors: Be extra careful on the last jump because there's more of a chance of an accident, apparently! Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Ouch. On the subject of that racing, what kind of skis are they using? Link to post Share on other sites
