From Eurosport:

RMC radio reports that Schumacher retained consciousness and his condition is not thought to be life-threatening.

Hope that info is correct, for his sake.

[ChillDoubt]

After all initial and subsequent reports that Michael was shaken but apparently not too bad, the Sky News ticker now says he is in a critical condition.

Hope he will pull through this.

In a coma

Missed this post......best wishes to you MS

BBC News say he is critical, has been moved to a bigger hospital and has had brain surgery.

[ChillDoubt]

I hope I'm wrong but this has all the similarities of the Natasha Richardson tragedy.
I sincerely hope there is a different result.

[ladybirder]

Me too. He was off piste, so although an accomplished skier, that always makes it a bit more dangerous I suppose.

Story has changed drastically and for the worse this evening. When first I heard about it it seemed like an accident that wasn't too serious, now it sounds as if his life is in danger. I hope he recovers.

I would think it is a hospital induced coma. Thank goodness he was wearing a helmet. I truly hope he recovers. I have followed him since he started F1 at Jordan.

[ladybirder]

Yes it does seem to have. I read he had a brain haemorrhage but don't know if that's true or not. If he has then it could be quite a wait to see if he's going to recover or not. His daughter must have been so frightened poor girl.

[ladybirder]

Oops, think it was his son he was with not daughter.

Bizarrely, Schumacher was victim to a dead hoax when a Michael Schumacher RIP page appeared on Facebook on Saturday and 1 million fans had visited and left messages of condolence.
