Simply spine-chilling images. As he was taking off for his second jump during the World Cup competition in the Pyrenees on Sunday, Cody Laplante lost his two spatulas as soon as he left the launch pad and was left with it. for a big scare.
The American, without his skis, continued to spin through the air, with no chance of landing properly. Fortunately for him, Laplante somehow managed to fall back to “barefoot” and didn’t even hurt himself! He quickly put his slats back on and went back down to the finish area on his own.
The 19-year-old skier, however, did not take part in the second run and ended up finishing 14th. More fear than harm, as the ready-made phrase goes.
