Michael Schumacher was considering not entering the slopes on the day of his skiing accident in 2013, his wife Corinna revealed.

December 29, 2024 marks 11 years since the accident, which caused Schumacher to suffer a traumatic brain injury while skiing in the French Alps.

He was airlifted to hospital before being placed in a medically induced coma until June 2014.

Doctors stated in a press conference that the fact Schumacher was wearing a helmet at the time would have 'certainly' saved his life.

There have been no new updates about the German's health status since his emergence from the coma, with his family protecting his privacy and only a small inner circle of close confidants permitted to have access to him.

They include his former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt, who told L'Equipe in 2023 that the now 53-year-old is 'here', but his life is 'different'.

BILD claimed that Schumacher was 'very likely' to have been present at the wedding of his daughter Gina back in September.

A Netflix documentary on the German, titled 'Schumacher', was released in 2021, with his wife Corinna making several contributions.

She revealed the events that unfolded on the day of Schumacher's skiing accident in the French Alps - claiming that he considered not skiing at all.

Corinna said: "Shortly before it happened in Meribel, he said to me: 'The snow isn't optimal. We could fly to Dubai and go sky diving there'.

"I have never blamed God for what happened. It was just really bad luck, all the bad luck anyone can have in life. It's always terrible when you say: 'Why is this happening to Michael or us?' But then why does it happen to other people?

"Of course, I miss Michael every day. But it's not just me who misses him. The children, the family, his father, everyone around him. I mean, everybody misses Michael."

She continued: "No matter what, I will do everything I can. We all will.

"We're trying to carry on as a family, the way Michael liked it and still does. And we are getting on with our lives.

"'Private is private', as he always said. It's very important to me that he can continue to enjoy his private life as much as possible."
