Paris Match also reported that Schumacher's helmet had "exploded" into three pieces upon impact with a rock on the ski slope.
In other news, a new video has come to light showing the moment when Schumacher was airlifted by helicopter from the French Alps. (Fair warning, the video shown below is small and quite grainy, but it is not graphic).
Meanwhile, family and colleagues are wishing Schumacher a recovery as quick as his on-track reputation. Martin Brundle, racing pundit and former F1 driver tweeted: "Come on Michael, give us one of those race stints at pure qualifying pace to win through, like you used to. You can do it."
