As it's on 5 or 6 channels over here I've got it on in background. Not actually watching it, you understand. Anyway, guy jumps out of the gate or whatever they're called, takes 2 or 3 pushes off and falls flat on his face. Just slides along head-first for a bit and then jumps up looking like the bottom's just fallen out of his world. 2.5 seconds on the clock. And he wasn't even British.
Once went over a cliff edge and landed in a tree in Austria. Spreadeagled, legs akimbo, skis still attached. Not even a scratch. Some Austrian woman fetched a ladder and climbed up the tree, released my skis so I could climb down. Just brushed myself down, got her number and headed off again. No, she didn't turn up
I followed the Mrs over a cliff once - poor light - she had been in the resort for a week already and my first day so I assumed she knew what she was doing (doh) Next thing I know she is sailing over the edge - I tried to make a turn which only suceeded in spinning me off like a helicopter as I flew over the edge - was in the air long enough to think about which pocket me medical insurance was in before landing fortunately in deep snow. took about 30 mins to get back to a piste -climbing uphill in waste deep snow not the easiest thing to do.
