The 32-year-old, who broke her right arm at the start of the
season and still does not have full use of her hand, lost
control early in her run and crashed into the safety netting.
After a worrying moment when Vonn sat still in the netting, she
got to her feet in no obvious discomfort.
Slovenia's Ilka Stuhec won the race ahead of Elena Curtoni while
several other leading contenders failed to reach the finish as
the soft snow conditions again proved tricky.
It was Stuhec's sixth win of the season and helped her to close
the gap on overall World Cup leader Mikaela Shiffrin who
finished 11th, having pulled out of Friday's combined event
along with team mate Vonn because of safety concerns about the
course conditions.
Stuhec finished second in Friday's combined.
