Schumi had another surgery today...still critical, but stable.
I have a friend that was a mounted police officer and was thrown from her mount. She landed on her head - with a helmet. The injury was so traumatic that they airlifted her to the hospital and called in the Honor Guard, as they didn't think she would make it. Thankfully, she pulled through with no ill effects other than the lack of eye dominance, i.e., either one of her eyes can be the dominant eye, (kind of important when your shooting). She showed us the helmet. The helmet was completely intact save one crack. You wouldn't think from the shape of the helmet that the head injury would have been that severe.
