So, this is super scary. Austrian snowboarder, Markus Schairer, broke his neck on Thursday during a quarterfinal race. Fortunately, doctors say the Austrian athlete suffered no permanent damage.

Amazingly, the snowboarder was able to return to his feet and finish the race. Also, this isn’t Markus’ first injury. He broke five ribs in 2010 at the X Games, according to MSN. Plus, he injured his shoulder in 2013.
