Say a prayer for possibly the best of the best ever behind the wheel of a racecar. One of my all time favorites... 7 Time Formula One Champ.

WOW.

Get well dude.

Former Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is still in critical condition after a skiing accident on Sunday. - Autoweek

Just heard about this too.

And, from what I saw, he was wearing a helmet. How the EFF does one do what he does for a living and then end up in the hospital over some bullshit like this? Life is not ever fair.

No shit. He had a good helmet on.

The article also stated that the area he was in was clear of trees.

So...he did pull a Sonny Bono.
I didn't read it, but I did see where they said he was improving.

I heard it was a rock to head incident.

From what I read, the area may have been free of trees, but not free of rocks. Tripped over one and went head first into another, hard enough to split his helmet.

Good Luck Schumi.
