Jamie MoCrazy’s Fighting for Survival After a Freestyle Skiing Tragedy

By Matthew Harrington |

Life is so unpredictable that it can bring anyone from any point to any unexpected situation or state.

This is also true when someone experiences a fall incident and suffers from a brain hemorrhage, which reduces their chances of survival. This happened to Jamie MoCrazy, who competed in the World Tour Finals for freestyle skiing in Canada when tragedy struck.

Incident details:

She was involved in an accident while competing in the Canadian Freestyle Skiing World Tour Finals. She decided to raise the level of difficulty for her second and final attempts after completing her first try and finishing fourth overall.

To improve her double ‘flat-7′ off-access backflip for the Finals, she decided to perform it. The now 30-year-old, recalling April 2015 when she last saw her brother, says, “I was pushing the limits again. It was an off-access trick, and it had never been done before. Although the technique was spectacular, he added that other factors also contributed to his unconsciousness.

After falling, no one anticipated Jamie MoCrazy would survive. While being transported by helicopter to the Vancouver hospital, where she would spend the following three weeks, her fatality report was being completed. Family and friends waited, expecting the best but praying for a miracle.

When she landed from her flip, her head was whiplashed into the snow, but she has no memory of what occurred. She fell into a coma of her own accord, was intubated on the mountain, and the fight to save her life started.

MoCrazy was one of the first patients in North America to have catheters inserted into their brains during those times in Vancouver, enabling medical professionals to immediately monitor and adjust their patients’ blood pressure, oxygen, and nutritional levels.

Despite all odds, the 22-year-old managed to open her eyes ten days after the accident. It just took a few seconds, but it was enough to bring a glimmer of light to even the darkest days. But even then, according to Jeanee, her sister was “almost unconscious the entire time” and had paralyzed the right half of her body.

The native of Connecticut needed six weeks to recall who she was and recognize her parents. She remembered Jeanee but not Jilly, who was her younger sister. Jeanne recalls, “It was like being reborn like she was a child, and she had to grow from there.
