She was going 115 KM!! That’s 71mph !! I can’t even imagine!! You have to have balls of steel to be able to do that sport no doubt!!
Well, let's hope for her sake she doesn't have balls. Then it would be Nick and not Nicole.
There was only one time in my life when I was skiing >100 km/h on a straight, steep slope. Never again. I can't even imagine turning at that speed.
BIG respect to all alpine-skiers, legs made of steel and balls heavier than whole universe.
@@cwir88 Yeah, I second that. You don't get the sense of the speed when the cameras are panning and the camera lenses flattens angles so it doesn't look as steep as it really is. I remember skiing in one of those WC hills once and when I arrived to the first steep section I froze. NO way am I going full throttle down there.
Yeah thats why alpine skiing is fun haha
Or just plain stupidity
1:46 was it her screaming ??? 😥😥😥 too bad for her, she was doing a really good downhill
Nicole i wish you all the BEST. You are a top class skier. Speed recovery.
Mama mija kurwa ..... 2021 rok a zabezpieczenia z pizdy drzewa obok
Amazing run. She was cookin it- sounded like a jet fighter. Bad ass. Get well soon!
that fence saved her life.
These accidents are not preventable but knee injuries are. A quick wireless ski release button placed on top of the poles will unlock the skis preventing the knees to be torn.
Love this idea!
Great...where can I buy them?
@@joshguthrie7787 until it malfunctions in the middle of the run
LOL. Human reaction times are at best .20s. You knee will be destroyed before you can react. Delusional idea.
Keep skiing from your keyboard.
OMG. That poor girl got over the front of the skis. So horrifying. I hope she recovers. My heart goes out to her. Such a great skier.
That's not at all what happened. She did not break any bones. Her left knee was dislocated, tearing all the ligaments. Much, much worse than any broken bones could be. Broken bones would take a couple of months to heal. Her knee blowout will take at least a year, and might never be back to 100%.
@@driver9337 You are correct. I saw a photo of another skier and mistook it as her. It was tagged as her so innocent mistake. I took that part out of my comment. Thanks for the correction.
She has a serious leg injury, but she'll be okay
Thank God! 🙏
Und weg war sie..😱😨wahnsinn wie schnell das ging.
Downhill has got Murphy's Law written all over it.
Simply a very dangerous sport.
Even if you never fall, your knees will be ruined for the rest of your life ................
That‘s every professional sport tho. Football players, basketball players, skiers and many more all have problem with their bodies when they get older
1:40 🙈🙏🏻
Mamma mia!!
Очень жаль девушку..... жива осталась?
1. Yes!!
2. Ever used Google? 😂
Мля, только и увозят с трассы! Жесть, девушка хоть жива осталась???
She was going fast af
😢
Amazing 👌👌👌
🙏
Did they find her?
Nope, she disappeared
JJAJAJAJAJAAAA
still looking for her.
😂😂😂
0:05 oh she is SUPER cutey, too. :(
She died
@@theyracemesohardchairstupid! She is alive !

INCORRECT!!!
this it's why u ski park, and for the steez obviously
Now this is why we will never see women race the infamous Kitzbühel hill or any other male downhill course. They are not physically equipped to resist the hill forces, it's way too dangerous.
A man could just as easily have crashed like this. Her being a woman had nothing to do with it.
@@korinnab.2318 I beg to differ. This is a typical female crash, a man would have avoided this on pure physical strength. When men crash in downhill it's in tuffer conditions. Women and men race different courses. It's a reason for that. If it was no physical differences men and women would have raced the same courses. It's as simple as that.
@@UnderhillsYou obviously don't watch downhill skiing too often then as I've seen multiple accidents happened to men in absolutely similar weather/hill conditions as this one. So enough with your "male superiority" bs!
You'll see "women" race these courses soon. Just look at the "women" competing in the NCAA.
@@-Julia-96 Especially as he is bringing up Kitzbuehel, where a lot of guys crashed/touched the fence on a similar turn over the years ;) Also, it's not like even some of the strongest men did not crash and or injure themselves recently, mistake is a mistake, having more muscle mass won't do jackshite if someone is still going down in an unsaveable situation, such as this.
The pixie cut is bad luck...
Your only problem? I mean she hurt really bad so I won't say her pixie cut is bad luck...
She died
She didnt stfu
You’re a liar! She is alive
