There are many "Oh my god, this seems dangerous" events in the WinterOlympics. And one of them, without question, is the halfpipe.
I mean, when everything is going well, the top-tier athletes who compete in it make it look like nothing. But when it goes wrong, it goeswrong.

Unfortunately, USskierNick Goepper had one of the nastiest crashes I think I've ever seen at the event. Even worse, it cost him what appeared to be a shot at a medal.
The 31-year-old was one of several Americans in the field, and things started great.
His opening run was on the verge of perfection, earning him a massive score of 90.00.
Goepper appeared to be trending toward the podium, but on the final trick of his third run, he went down hard.
I'm not going to play armchair freestyle skiing expert — I watch it every four years and whenever the X Games are on, which feels like several times a year now, for some reason — but,in the video, it looks like from the moment Goepper launched out of the halfpipe, something was off.
That led to Goepper landing on the deck of the halfpipe, and it was brutal.
But, miraculously, he managed to walk away from the crash, which was great to see.
