Scott Macartney's Crash
For those of you who don't know skiing very well today was the Hannenkahm Downhill, which is known as the Super Bowl of ski racing. It is held every January in Kitzbuhel, Austria and is considered the toughest course in the world. Unfortunately once again it has shown just how tough and dangerous it is. One of my closest friends, teammate, and college roommate Scott Macartney lost control off the finish jump going about 90 mph flying 30 feet in the air and landed on his head. It's one of the gnarliest crashes I have seen in a long time and is tough to watch so I will leave that at your discretion. I wouldn't post the video unless I knew he was doing well. I just received news that he is in stable condition at a hospital in Innsbruck, Austria and will make a full recovery. After he came to his first question was "how fast was I going" and "are my knees ok?" Scott is a true competitor!
