I don't condone what you said earlier coozer but sounds like you've had a change of heart and I applaud you for that. I suggest we all draw a line under this now and direct our energies (if we feel so inclined) towards wishing Michael a full and speedy recovery.

I was never a fan of Schumi but respect and admire his achievements in F1. His competitive instinct may have pushed the limits of the rules at times but we are all flawed so we shouldn't be too quick to judge him. It would be a cruel irony indeed if he was seriously injured or killed having retired from 'dangerous' F1 to enjoy time with his family.

Come on Schumi, time for one of those blistering qualy laps you were famous for!

He's clearly had a serious injury but so did Massa in 2009 and pulled through. Even worse was the terrible injury suffered by Maria de Villota and she made a remarkable recovery initially albeit died many months later from probable complications. We should remember that these are not normal people, they are super-fit, competitive men and women and their capacity for recovery is very high.

A positive mental attitude is key to overcome any challenge not just for the patient but also those supporting him.

I have met Michael on a couple of occasions and he is nothing other than a really nice bloke, friendly and polite. Coozer what you said was cold, mean and heartless I hope you feel bad about what you said.

Thoughts out to Michael and his family

This guy is a good person to follow for an informed view of what's going on

He mentioned yesterday that a 2nd operation wouldn't be a good sign at this point, which luckily hasn't happened

It seems his video camera confirms he was applying the rules when he had the accident. So those who assumed he would be skiing unsafely ...
Sadly a lot of people deleted their posts which I think is silly, but hey ho.

Heres to wishing him a speedy recovery.

I don't actually recall anyone on this thread saying he was skiing unsafely - maybe they did. I've read stories elsewhere about his helmet allegedly being cracked in 3 pieces and him doing 60MPH according to a witness but I never paid much heed tbh. He was off-piste but by the sounds of it only just, and my own view is that, as an experienced skier, that was his call to make. He's in a much better position to assess risk than any of us and probably a better skier than most if not all of us too.

Hopefully we'll get some more encouraging news soon of his gradual recovery. I would like to hear of him being woken up and being able to communicate normally with the doctors and his family soon. That's the next big milestone for me.
