All that article says is that he is no longer in a coma, or critical condition, and that he has been moved to another hospital. It isn't like he thanked the nurses and walked out to the car. I fear as time extends between reports from Sabbine, there is less and less chance of a positive outcome for Michael, and moreso, his family. Fight hard Michael, your still on the warm up lap, with 78 laps of Monaco ahead. Oh, and your starting about 19th. I am hoping for a podium!

It is hard not get my hopes up.
I know it is still not an ideal situation and I am not a dreamer to think he is up and walking around or will be anytime soon. However I still hold hope that with this bit of good news that, hopefully, sooner rather than later he will be walking around. The effect that his accident has had on people round the world just shows how much he is admired. He's been an inspiration to many people in and out of racing and to lose him in these circumstances, the prime of his life would be devastating to not only his family but to the many many fans across the globe. C'mon Michael, win #92. Let's do it.

Putting 2 + 2 together, it might be that Michael is now in the same conditiohn as if he had a massive stroke, so I would guess that his recovery will be long, and like most stroke victims, he will never be the same again. Thsi is all specualtion on my part, but I think it is the reality. It is such an awful shame, as he is/was truly one of the best racers to grace, and attack, a race track.

ever since the accident 'experts' have been trying to 'read between the lines' on every release issued to date, and yet many have been proved wrong time and again. i just don't see the point in reading things that aren't there. the only reliable info up until now has been the releases from his manager, and they have been proven to be accurate. all other articles are from people trying to guess the situation.
will he make a recovery of sorts? who knows, but he is still with us, and where there is life there is hope. his manager has stated that this will be the last release for some time, so hopefully the next time we hear some news it is still in a positive direction. according to those in the field, to be classed as no longer in a coma, there has to be a form of verbal response, so if the article is accurate then that is a good sign. |

another good sign is that someone has spoken to the media, and there is a lack of a million other 'experts' offering their opinion, to pad the article out a bit. i for one don't mind a brief article that simply tells us what we want to know. well done to the journo for keeping it short and to the point.
keep fighting michael! |

True. But any improvement is one small step away from a vegetative state and towards a fully functional human.

It would seem from the lack of any specific information Michael is still fighting the good fight, best of luck to Michael and his family.

"Formula 1 great Michael Schumacher was put into a coma after he fell heavily on a GoPro camera mounted on his skiing helmet, a friend has revealed.
Racing commentator Jean-Louis Moncet said the camera on Schumacher's head had "injured his brain", The Mirror reported. Moncet also said Schumacher was recovering "slowly" at his Swiss mansion, being cared for in a purpose-built medical suite. The Formula 1 champion injured his head while skiing in the French Alps on December 29 last year. He emerged from his coma and returned home about two months ago but still has a long road of rehabilitation ahead. "Although things are going at a slow pace, he has a lot of time, I would say he has his whole life in front of him to get back on track," Moncet said. His care is estimated to cost more than $185,000 a month." Read more at http://www.9news.com.au/world/2014/1...yxBwhu4GpSY.99

My guess is that upon impact the angles and forces at play were perfectly aligned and the GoPro punctured the helmet skin and pierced the skull.. I have family who ride bikes and use these devices on their helmets, whilst I haven't taken a close look at how they are mounted it looks to me like they are just mounted straight onto the shell of the helmet. If there was some additional layers of helmet material under the mount would that have spread the forces across a greater area of the helmet and saved Shuey? Do helmets have 'mounting points' where there is a thicker skin or structural ribbing added during manufacture to allow for this scenario? Will this change how GoPro instruct people to mount their product? If the GoPro is proven to have had a large bearing on this accident I wonder what will be the ramifications? With so much red tale and regulations, I actually find it odd that you can modify a life saving device such as a helmet with a GoPro. Are there any rules and regulations regarding these devices?

i did see a bike helmet with a proper built on bracket for a camera, but no mention of any safety enhancements. it appears if you add stuff to your helmet, its all on you. |

How 'well done' can you go??

I can see this possibly going 2 ways. 1) GoPro are found to have contributed to Shui's injuries. 2) GoPro are cleared and they go after whoever stated that the GoPro attributed to the injury (a person closely linked to the family apparently). Either side has access to top legal help I'm sure...

This product safety statement may help limit GoPro’s liability.
Quote:
If I was using a camera in a situation where I was travelling at speed I’d be inclined to use a helmet with a side mounted camera. Also, was Schumacher wearing a GoPro helmet with camera or had he fixed a GoPro camera to a helmet he’d sourced himself? The article offers a comment with no details. |

Here’s another from a couple of days ago.
While there is a media blackout, the general public will only ever be fed speculation from the press. Quote:

Hate to say it, but there is a price on human life. How long can the family sustain $180k a week?
I hope (but doubt) that if/when he wakes up he has some sort of normal life, if not then that the end is peacefull/pain free.
