Camera may reveal details of Schumacher accident
Print Edition
Michael Schumacher remains in a “critical but stable” condition, his spokeswoman said yesterday, as French investigators hoped a helmet-mounted camera he was wearing at the moment of his ski accident could answer a raft of questions.
A spokeswoman for the retired F1 champion denied reports his family had been reluctant to hand over the camera — taken by authorities on Friday.
“Michael’s helmet camera was voluntarily given to the investigating authorities by the family,” spokewoman Sabine Kehm said. “That this should have been done against the wishes of the family is untrue.”
The existence of the GoPro camera was publicly revealed late Friday, five days after the December 29 accident in the French Alps near the Meribel ski resort.
It had been known since Tuesday that the force of impact caused his helmet to split in two.
It was not known whether the camera filmed Schumacher’s descent down the slope or whether the images have been damaged by the impact on the rock.
Police on Friday questioned Schumacher’s 14-year-old son Mick, who was skiing with his father at the time, as well as a friend, at the Grenoble hospital.
The GoPro miniature camera, robust and popular among extreme sports enthusiasts, has a 170-degree wide angle lens that takes in much of the view and can show parts of the user’s body including the face depending on how it is mounted.
