Listen to me!!!
What do you think ?
I think not. So why make such a comment?

He'll be ok as he's got such a big head. Never forget him running Damion Hill of the circuit so he could win. The bloke is a cheat and couldn't care about him to be honest. I'm sure if it was a nobody in the same situation then they would of gone by road in the ambulance.
Put him on the sledge and pull him down to the waiting ambulance. Would a helicopter turn up for mister average?
You really are a ****, aren't you?
I've been in an air ambulance in Zermatt. I think I qualify as Mr. Average.

At the point Vegster made his remark, the medical bulletins on TV suggested that Schumacher's life was not in danger and would make a full recovery. Therefore, while it was irreverent, there did not appear to be any cause for alarm and so it was OK to make a quip. By the same token, I also wouldn't have made the comment about his chin if the medical bulletin at the time was saying he was in a critical condition. Hindsight's wonderful, isn't it?

Read the timeline,my comment was made while the news reports said " not life threatening "
Not having your first reaction to someone needing medical attention after an accident being: to make fun of them, is also a wonderful thing. Well, I say 'wonderful thing', 'decent human behaviour' could also be used to describe it.
Thats ok then, carry on.
It wasn't my first reaction to it. I wrote the quip several hours after the news broke believing the patient concerned to not have their life in danger. My initial reaction to it was concern because of recalling Natasha Richardson's accident a few years ago, but once I heard the same bulletins that everyone else did where he was said to be conscious and talking, I believed he was going to be OK.
Not wishing ill on the chap but I wonder if I could ask?
Is going off piste a responsible thing to do with a minor? I ask as a complete novice to skiing.
Also in regard to this the way he conducted himself, and his disregard to those around him, during his career (especially the Hill incident) does make me question his responsibilities.
Apart from that I hope he makes a full recovery. Life is precious.

I would imagine the danger level depends on your skiing experience/ability and the conditions on the day, and exactly where it was. That minor was 14, he might have 10 years experience skiing. In which case it probably isn't that dangerous. I don't know the area or conditions so can't comment, but 'off piste' is a pretty generic term for skiing anywhere that isn't a marked ski path.

It is also worth noting that every skier/snowboarder falls over. Falling over and banging your (helmeted) head on a rock strikes me as just very bad luck.
