Michael Schumacher, 7 time Formula One world Champion, suffered a serious head injury while skiing.
Schumacher was skiing with his 14-year-old son Mick near Méribel in the French Alps. While crossing an unsecured off-piste area he fell and hit his head on a rock, sustaining a head injury despite wearing a ski helmet. According to his physicians, Schumacher would most likely have died had he not been wearing a helmet. Schumacher was put into a medically induced coma because of having suffered a traumatic brain injury.
On April 4th, 2014, Schumacher's agent reported that he was showing "moments of consciousness" as he was gradually withdrawn from the medically induced coma, adding to reports by relatives of "small encouraging signs" over the preceding month. In mid-June he was moved from intensive care into a rehabilitation ward. By June 16th, Schumacher had regained consciousness and left Grenoble Hospital for further rehabilitation at the University Hospital in Lausanne, Switzerland. On September 9th, 2014, Schumacher left Hospital in Lausanne and was brought back to his home for further rehabilitation.
In November 2014, it was reported that Schumacher was 'paralysed and in a wheelchair' and he 'cannot speak and has memory problems'.
In a video interview released in May 2015, Schumacher's manager Sabine Kehm said that his condition is slowly improving "considering the severeness of the injury he had"
In September 2016, Felix Damm, Schumacher's lawyer, told a German court that his client "cannot walk", in response to false reports from December 2015 in German publication Die Bunte that he could "walk a couple of steps".
