Ski jumping is a sport that never really took off in the United States (I think the only ski jumper I can name is Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards), but it does on occasion produce some fantastic, agony-of-defeat-style wipe outs.
Norway's Bjoern Einar Romoeren crashed at the World Cup of ski jumping over the weekend. The event took place in rainy conditions in Val di Fiemme, Italy, and Romoeren's crash was precipitated by one of his skis getting caught in slush. After the crash, the rest of the event was canceled. Romoeren was not seriously hurt.
