December 29 marked the tenth anniversary of Michael Schumacher’s horrific skiing accident.
The seven-time Formula 1 world champion still has severe side effects that make it difficult for him to talk and walk.
Schumacher suffered a serious fall while skiing on December 29, 2013, precisely ten years ago, while on vacation with his family in Méribel, Savoie, just after he retired from Formula 1 racing.
His head hit a boulder and his helmet cracked from the force of the impact.
When rescuers arrived, Schumacher, often known as “The Red Baron,” was stunned but conscious.
He was immediately taken to the hospital, where he remained in a coma for several months.
Grenoble University Hospital said in a statement that same evening that the former champion “suffered severe head trauma with coma upon arrival, requiring immediate neurosurgical intervention.”
Schumacher also suffered a cerebral bleed that put his life in danger.
When he woke up six months later, nothing had changed.
It is still challenging to ascertain Michael Schumacher’s present state of health because of his family’s extreme secrecy.
They keep him out of the spotlight and don’t provide the media any information on him.
The Formula 1 world champion is unable to walk or stand and is unable to communicate with people.
Michael Schumacher is cared after by a team of approximately 15 physicians, nurses, and physiotherapists who work around the clock.
Ten years ago, Michael Schumacher had a tragic accident while skiing at the Méribel resort in the French Alps.
Since September 2014, he has been living in a hospital suite on his family’s property in Gland, Switzerland.
Gaëtan Vigneron, a 30-year Formula One commentator and racing scene expert, noted, “He is a prisoner of his own body.”
Ralf, Michael’s younger brother, provided the local media with the following information, which was published in the Daily Mail: “I miss the old Michael.”
Life can be so unjust at times. Michael has been extremely lucky all his life.
