Michael Schumacher Suffers Serious Head Injury In Skiing Accident

Brendan Flowers

Heard about Michael's accident this morning but at the time reports seemed to suggest it wasn't serious. However I see it was covered on the RTE News at 9 that Schumacher is now in a serious condition. Reports saying he's suffered a brain hemorrhage and his life is in danger. Awful news but hopefully he can pull through.

Its quite a big news story. A lot of people (including me) didnt realise how serious it was so I wanted to share what I knew. I also thought it might be a useful thread as others could post information they've heard.

TBH I dont know why I even have to defend myself. A legend, but more importantly a father is in hospital fighting for his life and you're arguing over why you can't joke about that. Seriously if you dont care about the man dont post. I do. Ironically I was never a Schumacher fan but I could always appreciate he was an F1 legend and I was lucky enough to witness his career.

Lets hope he can pull off one more victory and pull through this.

The man is a legend. Made F1 exciting. Hope he pulls through. Very sad.

Hopefully he will have a speedy recovery.

Hope he pulls through, I'm not a fan of F1 or anything but he's a young guy and has a young family so I hope he makes it.

Tbh id say he has more concerns at this time then someone making puns on his current plight.

Obviously. I just always think its a shame when people start making jokes about someone thats in a critical condition. Call me a square if you like, but there's no real need for it.

The vast majority of people in AH are perfectly capable of having a rational discussion without the need for tasteless jokes.

AH isn't an excuse for a free for all.

Shocking news, hope he pulls through.

His death was only hoaxed two days ago,

Self fulfilling prophecy?

Hope he can pull through, greatest driver of my generation.

How awful.

Isn't this the same type of accident that killed both Sonny Bono and Natasha Richardson?

Really hope the poor guy pulls through.

Natasha Richardson's accident/death is being compared to this as the same type of injury.

Hope he pulls through, how awful for his family to be going through this

This is hard to take; the news reports are not offering much hope here; the man is a legend.
