Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Some say there was a GoPro on his helmet and the family gave it to the police for further investigation. I wonder what the police has to do with this accident... It's quite obvious what happened.

It's not 'quite obvious' and of course they will investigate if someone has nearly been killed.

Also if the Go Pro thing is true (I suspect it isn't), it Hhas to be said I am not a huge fan of sticking anything to a helmet. Surely it changes force and impact distribution?

Quote from Intrepid :

I don't know why would the family lie about the accident, especially his children. It's a bit morbid to even assume anything like someone tried to kill him or anything. It was just a very unlucky accident I think.

It's not about whether they are lying or not. It's about the reliability of their statements. For example, one of my friends was involved in an incident on a race track. The driver in front of him decided to take a cut through on the racetrack for some unknown reason. Anyway my friend smashed right into him causing the guy, who took the cut through, to barrel roll out of his vehicle. Now there was unquestionably contact between the two of them. Not my drivers fault at all.

So anyway, this happened on the other side of the circuit where there happened to be a group of people on some Segway experience thing. Why they were there I don't know, some team building bollocks. Anyway, I asked them if anyone saw the incident. A couple did and do you know what they said ? "the guy just flipped on his own there was no other kart anywhere near him".

They have NO reason to lie... however their witness statement was TOTALLY incorrect. Witness statements are not statements of fac, no matter how good intentioned they may be. I learnt a valuable lesson that day.

This is why the Police want to take a look at the video (if there actually is any video which I doubt.)

No said someone tried to kill him. The rock nearly killed him. But we don't know the truth about how the accident occurred - not that it matters - perhaps excess speed, or just a hidden rock that caused friction...

It isn't "obvious" what happened at this stage. Eye witness reports are the least reliable reports; cameras don't lie (if he turned it on).

Cameras on helmets are probably not that bad as the camera is pushed off sideways in most incidents. But occasionally they turn a blunt object (a rock) into a sharp impact (the camera mount). But cameras are so after used, where else is safe - chest? Shoulder perhaps?

if it happened in america, they would sue the rock

Then Nuke it. Then claim is was irony. Then eat it.

complete speculation.

Although speculation, it does give an idea as to what happens with injuries of this sort.

Police want to see the video to know how the tracks were limited and if the fact MSC wasn't on a safe track well visible. If not, Mirabel ski station could be judge as responsible of this incident which may change drastically things for insurances...

Or if he was pushed or had a ski failure or something. Hate to sound morbid.

It looks that there is a second video, that shows Schumi going slow, as his family already said.

According to www.ran.de, Michael Schumachers condition improved slightly, but is still life threatening.

Don't worry though, he saw it coming!!! Daily Mail exclusive, MAN MAKES WILL!

There is absolutely no news in this part of world, so I am asking Germans... How it actually looks like? It's complete silence since 10th of Jan here...

There is no news to report. There is only some speculation, most of which is so far from the truth (likely) that it's not worth typing out. He's still in an induced coma whilst his brain does brain things and the rest of his vitals get into less dangerous territory.

Just wait. It's not like we have a right to know anything either, it's just a form of morbid curiosity.

German media and British media talking about the possibility that Schumacher may be in a coma for the rest of his life. For now here is this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new ... acher-coma-rest-life.html

Brain specialist saying Schumacher won't be the same if he does awake from the coma: http://www.independent.co.uk/n ... -head-injury-9066613.html

This is just chasing of sensation. Nobody really knows anything, apart from his doctors.

You should take these news with a grain of salt - the papers are hungry fot information more than anyone. Even the doctors who provide comments might not be the most accurate source of info because they can providr only educated guesses and you caestimatesn be sure that the papers will print the most dire and schoking estimates

Yes I agree, I mean just look at the story of the journalist who dressed up as a priest to get into the hospital, awful. I think everyone is at the stage now where when someone posts a link to a source such as The Daily Mail, its taken with an amount of scepticism. Of course it is all speculation, but a leading brain specialist has more clout with their words than a gossip journalist.

The problem with even the top of their field sppecialists is that without access to MSC's medical data they can either state the obvious or take a best guess. Journalists might also - either on purpose or due to lack of understanding of the subject - mangle what the doctor actually said. The most sensible thing to do is wait for any official statement...

Get well, Michael!

hmm, I haven't heard those news anywhere in our (serious) media. Last reports I saw were about some videos that showed how Michael crashed, nothing else.

But has since been calmed as idle speculation, sorry that I can't actually find which German media has been reporting on this. It isn't BILD as far as I know anyway.
