- 7 years ago
A dramatic video has emerged of a skier landing on rocks after a jump.
The footage, shot with a helmet-mounted camera last year at Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, Canada, captures the moment the skier crashes onto the rocks after he jumped without checking the area.
"Resulted in a seven broken ribs and a collapsed lung," the skier wrote online.
"The gopro I was wearing and took this video on was lost in the crash. It was found when I went back with some friends 4 months later in the spring."
"I posted this video in hopes that somebody out there could learn from my mistake - always check your landings before you jump! I consider myself lucky to get off as easy as I did," he added.
