Surprisingly, despite having an helmet as safety precaution, the German suffered serious head injury as he fell and hit his head on one of the rocks, while skiing. He was conscious even after the mishap but while on the way to hospital in a chopper, he lost consciousness and perished into a state of coma. It is believed that the helmet rescued Schumacher and minimized the impact of collision, in an otherwise, what would have been an immensely ominous scenario.
