Marc Gisin know exactly what it’s like to plunge terribly. In Kitzbühel he was injured in a Super-G in 2015 difficult. And just yesterday, Friday, a day before the new fall in Val Gardena, he wrote in the NZZ a column. Title: “How a fall in the head works.”
About the fateful Moment on the lining of the 30-year-old Gisin as reported: “A small pile of snow that has formed because of the many ride-on, catapulting me with a slight rotational movement over the edge. It all happens in a fraction of a second – and yet the Moment I realize burns that I was going to fall, forever in my memory. Rotating and fly uncontrolled from heights of several meters in an icy slope, which has a 75% inclination, triggers in the body a lot. Every fiber in me was immediately and automatically at the time of impact. After that, it was dark and my next memory should be the hospital bed in the University hospital of Innsbruck.”
sleep disorders long after the fall
Gisin suffered in a fall, a brain hemorrhage. In the days after, he woke up again and again in the middle of the night. And as he believes himself to be physically and mentally long since recovered completely, the insomnia again. In the fall of 2016, one and a half years after the accident in Kitzbühel.
Gisin handle to sleeping pills – but they prevailed nothing. He sought help of homeopathy, osteopath, acupuncture. Also brought no improvement. So he broke in December, the season. The physician noted a post-traumatic stress disorder. Better it was in the spring of 2017.
falls are part of the Abfahrern to the profession of risk. All the say. Also Gisin writes in his column. He knows not only from personal experience, but because sister of Dominique Gisin, downhill Olympic champion, was also frequently affected. He said: “falls are even largely responsible for the fact that I learned to Ski. You drop, get up, learn from it, continue. As a competitive athlete you have to go again and again to its limits, in order to make progress. Limits, which are shown in our case, partly also due to falls.”
Marc Gisin made her debut in 2009 in the world Cup. In its first two winters, he flew three times in the nets at the runway edge – in Lake Louise, Bormio and Val Gardena. Although every crash is different, he described the Moment a stage of our realizations is always the same: “In Val Gardena, I experienced it twice in a row: first, before the impact on my back, then in front of the Knock ins are always approaching the net. The body knows it has always been in front of the head. It is exactly this mental recognition of the already Obvious, what makes this feeling so overwhelming.”
Works everything room in the upper?
Now he fell again in Val Gardena, but not in the network, Gisin was still on the track, the helicopter was flown in to the hospital. About his previous accidents Gisin writes: “as soon As you comes to a standstill and realize that nothing has suffered except for a few scratches, to capture a strange feeling of happiness – a satisfaction that one has not seriously injured – and that one has clearly gone to the Limit.”
it sounds extreme. Gisin finds himself the obvious. “At least for me, it was in these cases,” he says, “but it could also be good, in my top room, something is not working quite as it should.” (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
