THE CRASH REEL

I just watched the dramatic story of the life-changing accident of US snowboarder Kevin Pearce back in 2009. The documentary provides deep insight into Kevin's long and challenging recovery from his serious T.B.I. as well as his life after the crash.
We all know that fun comes with a lot of risk but hardly ever realise how bad a single wrong turn can go. This film exposes quite bluntly exactly this one moment where things go wrong and how drastically the consequences are. To me, watching it was really intense since I'm somehow able to relate to being out there in sometimes quite dangerous situations in which you usually just tell yourself that nothing bad is going to happen.

Even if you're not a snowboarder or sports addict at all, take the time to watch this inspiring documentary about fragility of life, hope, disillusion and simple, plain happiness.
