MICHAEL Schumacher lost control of his skis after hitting a boulder and was sent flying into three other rocks, it has been claimed, as the F1 legend's wife maintains a constant vigil by his bedside.
According to the first paramedic on the scene, Schumacher hit a boulder which was concealed by snow and then struck three more rocks, the Daily Mail reports.
"We arrived within two minutes of the accident. The man lost control after hitting a rock that was lightly covered with snow," the paramedic said.
"He went into the air and he fell and hit three more rocks on the way down. There was a lot of blood around the last rock where he hit his head."
The German was apparently catapulted with such force that it broke his helmet in two.
