VIDEO: Watch skier narrowly avoid being sconed by drone
An Austrian skier has had a close call on the slopes in Italy.
Marcel Hirscher is seen weaving his way downhill when suddenly a drone slams to the ground directly behind him.
The large piece of technology was being used to film the course from above.
He was competing in the alpine skiing World Cup slalom, which was won by Norway’s Henrik Kristoffersen.
He had this to say on Instagram.
