This is Austrian skier Matthias Lanzinger and this is his wipeout from last Sunday. This a typical skiing wipeout, so it's nothing really new to anyone, but I think what makes this so bad, is the outcome.
Today, Lanzinger's lower left leg was amputated because of complications from two broken bones suffered in a crash at a World Cup race. Lanzinger broke his shin and fibula Sunday during the super-G. The double fracture severely damaged blood vessels, hampering circulation in Lanzinger's leg.
You can read a little more about it HERE. Ouch.
