“Watch out for falling drones” is the new “break a leg!”
Four-time defending World Cup overall champion skier Marcel Hirscher narrowly avoided a potentially horrific accident during a slalom run at a competition in Italy on Tuesday.

“This is horrible,” Hirscher, who fortunately was not injured and seemed unfazed in the race, told The Associated Press. “This can never happen again. This can be a serious injury.”
He also took to Instagram to express his thoughts.
Hirscher took over first place during the run despite the incident, but was defeated by the next and final skier, Henrik Kristoffersen.
