Skier narrowly avoids being smashed by falling drone (Video)

Skiing is a much more dangerous sport than it’s given credit for.

Along with the obvious threats like falling off a f***ing mountain, you apparently also have to dodge falling pieces of technology.

Austrian skier Marcel Hirscher narrowly avoided a serious injury when a drone fell out of the sky and landed just a few feet away from him.

Of course he would have seen this coming if he remembered the number one rule of his sport – keep watching the skis.
