Investigators are hoping that the camera will provide details about the exact
circumstances of the accident that has left the racing legend in a medically
induced coma after suffering severe head injuries. Two operations on his
brain have reduced swelling and stabilised his condition but he is not out
of danger.
His wife, Corinna, has been at his bedside for much of the past few days and
nights, along with his son, his daughter Gina-Maria, brother Ralf and father
Rold.
Sabine Kehm, his manager, has denied reports that he was skiing at high speed.
Ms Kehm said he had only ventured into an unmarked area between two pistes
after stopping to help a friend’s daughter who had fallen. He was catapulted
into the air when he hit a rock concealed by recently fallen snow and was
catapulted into the air. His head struck another rock and his helmet broke
in two, she said.
The accident happened only about 300 yards from the chalet Schumacher owns at
the Meribel resort in the French Alps.
