According to theaustrian and german web sites, former F1 driver Gerhard Berger today had a strange ski accident in Tiroll, Austria early in the morning. Ski accident was very similar to Schumi's. He broke hip and he is instantly operated in hospital.

We wish him very fast recovery.

I'd assume he was Skiing out of Söll considering he has a personal Gondola up the Hohe Salve. Get well soon Gerhard.

Okay, so not very similar to Schumi, at all.

 

That's a good thing though.

I've never understood the fun folk find slipping, but I hope Gerhard get's well soon - always one of my favourite drivers, and I still remember Imola '89 - broken hips are really nasty, there can be serious complications (fat embolism etc)...

He's very much a skiing fan. There's a cable car gondola in Söll with his name on it.
