…spot the obvious equipment failure here…
… the problem here is not that Alex is being violently assaulted by two whipping plastic poles simultaneously – but that his Leki poles are (yes – unbelievably) not clipped into his gloves and the right one is about to fly away.   Skis and everything else would have probably worked on this run with melted snow. Racing is like that – one tiny detail can have a huge impact.
