Watch in horror as French downhill skier Yannick Bertrand takes a slalom gate to the groin while tearing down the mountain at top speed during his December, 2007 super-g attempt in Kvitfjell, Norway. But be warned: the hit is hard. You can actually hear the sloppy crunch of precious parts.
If you’re too cowardly to watch the video you can still get a pretty good idea of how painful the situation was by reading this excerpt of the television announcer’s unsympathetic take on the situation:
Oh, the gate to the groin for Yannick Bertrand and you could hear it. And if you are a man you could feel it. Wow! Watch this again….Oh the Frenchman…Oh-ho Monsieurrrrr”. Wow. The boys took a beating on that one. That guy needs a hug. Those are the moments that change your life if you’re a man, I tell you what.
