Leg Amputation is a Possibility for Injured Racer. Austrian skier Matthias Lanzinger may lose his leg after this crash that took place last week. Video is kind of NSFW.

from my recent knee injuries and from that video, i think it's obvious in one part where he`s rolling down the hill that he tore every ligament in his knee. that wouldn`t instigate amputation though, he has to have injured something that can`t be fixed.

Actually he can still ski even after an amputation. It's called the monoski. I was watching the Winter XGames and mono ski was an event. All the competitors were either amputees or paralyzed. You can watch a video of it here YouTube XGames MonoSki So while this guy lost his leg he may still be able to do what he loves in a slightly modified fashion.
