This should be played in a montage, every winter olympics. I'll never forget watching this with my dad and thinking...."how is he still alive. IMPOSSIBLE."
I saw him after his award ceremony in Nagano. No words just a wave from a distance at night as we walked separate ways on the street. He seemed as if he wanted to connect to another round-eye there. I was pretty oblivious but waved anyways. The people of Nagano were truly amazing. I hope he appreciated their hospitality.
Der finnische Kommentator sagte das gleiche was ich mir damals im ersten Moment dachte: Hermann Maier.... Hurrrrrrrerei! Das Comeback später im RTL war umso geiler.
michael tenik You should be! Your tiny Country has produced many great people; Mozart, Brandauer, Hedy Lamarr, Maximilian Schell, Romy Schneider, Arnold, Fuchs, Klimt, Haydn, Strauss, Schubert, Glock, Porsche, Hayek, Von Mises, Asperger, Freud, Frankl, Moser-Proell, Klammer, Meier,
This crash is the most extreme I have seen in my life and not oonly did he survive. He won olymic gold in a race just a a couple of days after. That is proof that angels exist.
I’m back because every once in awhile for the last 25 years, this replays in my head.
3 days later. He wins gold.

Unglaublich das er des überlebt hat und 3 tog später in Super-G gwonnen hot. HERMINATOR=UNSTERBLICH
He is Austrian, just like Arnold! He is the "terminator"!
atiboyful he isnt terminator he is Herminator
atiboyful i'm austrian too am i the terminator now
Sicher! Gruss Gott!
Its actually czech
Best part is he won two golds (GS and Super-G days later).
I think that hurt in more ways than one
Incredibile anche rivisto dopo tanti anni.
If I remember it correctly, a lot of skiers actually fell there.
I've seen ppl get paralyzed for less than that.
He was naturally strong and athletic and in his prime, which probably saved him from more serious injury.
I watched it live, never forgot it, and still probably watch this clip once a year. “wwwwhhhhooooOOOOOOoooAaaaa!!”
How he recovered from that and won the Super G ,I have no idea
There wasn't even a jump where he took off.
3 days later he wins gold
meanwhile football/soccer players... ⬇️
HERMINATOR
what language is this?
zziggy808 finnish
Thank god for the red barriers and his instincts.
ouuuch that looked like it hurt
Jon Olsson brought me here
Miracolo
Have you never see one jump in the alpine ski?
it's English, only backwards :)
seriously, it's Finnish..
Move over Arnie, the real Terminator is here! HERMINATOR
The crash on the jump at the corner.
This crash is the most extreme I have seen in my life and not oonly did he survive. He won olymic gold in a race just a a couple of days after. That is proof that angels exist.
Siummm
Il a rien eu?
Oh la vache . Et il a rien eu ?!?!!?

Hermann is the best!!!!!!
Suomi perkele
Go Herminator!
0:30 :-)
@crv26 yes it's true ^^
A rock
'Herminator' not for nothing.
Pretty sure Red Bull is derived from this guy’s sweat. He’s got wings.
GOAT
Pieno come un uovo....
0:22 I belive I can fly...
One should think pro skiers knew how to avoid this. Guess this became learning by doing for this poor chap.
This poor chap won 3 days later the Gold Medal in the Super Ski and 2 days after that the Gold medal in the giants Slalom.
You clearly don’t ski
