Television pictures showed the Austrian in the middle of his
second run in a World Cup slalom race when the drone crashed to
the ground behind him, shattering into pieces.
"This is horrible," Hirscher, 26, said. "This can never happen
again. This (could have caused) a serious injury."
Hirscher, silver medalist in slalom at the Sochi Olympics in
2014, finished second in the race behind Norway's Henrik
Kristoffersen, reclaiming the overall World Cup lead from Aksel
Lund Svindal.
The men's World Cup remains in Italy over Christmas with two
downhill races in Santa Caterina. The women are competing in
slalom events in Lienz in Austria.
