The horrific skiing accident that killed Michael Schumacher ten years ago, December 29. The seven-time Formula 1 world champion continues to have significant side effects that prevent him from moving and communicating.

Shortly after retiring from Formula 1 racing, Schumacher suffered a severe skiing accident on December 29, 2013, exactly ten years ago, while on vacation with his family in Méribel, Savoie. His helmet broke from the force of the blow when his skull struck a rock. Schumacher, well known as “The Red Baron,” was conscious but in shock when help arrived.

He was brought to the hospital right away, where he spent several months in a coma. The former champion “suffered a severe head trauma with coma upon arrival, requiring immediate neurosurgical intervention,” Grenoble University Hospital said in the evening of that same day.

In addition, Schumacher experienced a brain bleed, which put his life expectancy in jeopardy. Six months later, when he awoke, nothing had changed. Michael Schumacher’s family is quite private about their health, thus it is still tough to find out what his current condition is.

They withhold information about him and keep him out of the spotlight. The former world champion of Formula 1 is currently unable to speak to people around him and cannot even stand or walk. Michael Schumacher is looked after by a group of about fifteen physicians, nurses, and physiotherapists who work around the clock.

It has been ten years since Michael Schumacher was involved in an accident while skiing in the French Alps at the Méribel resort. He moved into a medical suite in his family’s Gland, Switzerland, villa in September 2014. “He is a prisoner of his own body,” claimed 30-year F1 analyst and racing specialist Gaëtan Vigneron.

Ralf, Michael’s younger brother, provided material to local media outlets that the Daily Mail published. “I long for the old Michael. Sometimes life can be so unjust. Michael experienced great luck all of his life. And then there was this terrible mishap…

It was a really unlucky day. Our family was permanently impacted by this tragic catastrophe. Thankfully, medicine has advanced greatly and has a plethora of options, yet nothing remains the same.
