_brit-woman-given-5-chance-of-survival-after-horror-ski-fall-makes-miracle-recovery.webp "A young British woman given just a five per cent chance of survival after a horror skiing accident has bravely spoken about making a “miracle” recovery.<br/><br/>Olivia Corbiere, 23, suffered a brain bleed, lung damage, a broken pelvis and three fractured vertebrae when she fell 15ft (4.5m) down a ravine in Bansko, Bulgaria, in March.<br/><br/>Doctors who first tended to the stricken kitchen designer told her mum Linzi, 46, shehad a limited chance of pulling through - and might never talk again if she did.<br/><br/>But remarkably, after Olivia was flown to Britain for treatment and spent a total of six weeks in hospital, she has been allowed to come home.<br/><br/>She still has some hearing loss and nerve damage on the right side of her face - affecting her eyelid movement - along with a wound at the back of her head.<br/><br/>But Olivia has now thanked her doting sister Phoebe Corbiere, 19, and five close friends who were with her when she had the accident for saving her life.<br/><br/>Speaking from her home in Aston, near Rotherham, South Yorks, she said: “The actions of my sister and my friends that day are the reason why I’m here.<br/> <br/>“Three of them jumped into the ravine and helped get me out, and then the other ones called the emergency services. <br/><br/>“They didn’t even think for a second not to jump in, and they could have hurt themselves. They are incredible. They’re fabulous, they’re amazing.<br/><br/>“When I was in hospital I thanked them for doing what they did because they saved my life with how they reacted.\")

Tewkesbury Borough Safety Advisory Group stated last year that the 2023 event had put a strain on emergency services after several people suffered injuries following the event.<br/><br/>This year it seems IShowSpeed could be another heading to the emergency room after he appeared to suffer an injury to his leg during the race.<br/><br/>He was seen tumbling down a hill and landing flat on his back as the race began but did not seem to be seriously harmed after the race. The YouTuber also believed that he could have won if he had time to develop his technique - claiming that he came fourth.<br/><br/>It came just days after he was seen partying with Manchester United's FA Cup winning side, with the YouTuber appearing in an interview after the race stating he needed to go to hospital. <br/><br/>'Just tell us about your leg, have you fractured your leg?' a reporter from the BBC asked the American after the race. <br/><br/>'You see that blood right there?' Speed said while pointing to his leg. The YouTuber told the reporter that had a 'plumbing infraction' before adding: 'It bruises and swells up. So I have to go to the hospital after.' <br/><br/>When asked whether it was worth it, the YouTuber replied: 'Hell yeah!' while laughing. <br/><br/>'It looks scary but once that first slide is done, you're like, \")
