Just watched a reply and Dorfmaister pass between a small gap no more than 1.5m between a course worker and a control gate very lucky, here time was still good enough to be placed 4th at the moment with 35 skiers down the run.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yeah it was pretty shocking wasn't it - looked as if she pretty much ran over the tips of his skis! God knows how it happened?!

That was an incredible close miss, didn't look like the course worker even saw here at all. Made no attempt to move the handle of his shovel out of the way.

Some years ago a racer crashed into an FIS official who'd strayed onto a course, resulting in broken legs. Haven't seen the footage, but this sounds like another serious breach of the rules. It may also point up a failure of communications and warnings. Did the guy ignore a warning, or was there no warning that a racer was on the course?
Don't know if the FIS report publicly on their investigations into these incidents, but let's keep an eye out.

The one of previous runners American Lindsay kildow also had a course worker straying close the the marked run but was well out side the control gates as she past. the course worker was moving to wards the piste was it the same person who strayed on the piste.
