Ski jumping was INSANELY DANGEROUS 30 years ago [VIDEO]

Font Size:

If the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics just aren’t generating enough violence for you in the rink, on the piste, etc., you will surely enjoy this suddenly timely video of disastrous wrecks from ski jumping back in the day—1986, to be exact.

The horrified reactions of the lead announcer — who at one point questions how the hell he can even continue to talk in good conscience about what he is seeing — are also priceless.

The event is the World Ski Flying Championships in Austria.

For the record, there are some successful, nonviolent jumps mixed in the video as well.
