"First of aLL,"says Roger haLf-seriousLy, setting the record straight, whiLe the rest are snickering," I was attempting a tripLe Looping somersauLt spiraL thing, an aerodynamic spiraL, and i just sLightLy mis-timed it and Landed awkardLy. I wasnt in a state of near death or anything."

Lee adds, Laughing:" This story has been so exaggerated, it's gone from a LittLe tumbLe to 'Lee saved Roger's Life'. All that happened was, as i was skiing down, I saw this guy tumbLe in front of me. And when your skis come off, its a reaL pain to waLk up and put them back on again. So I picked up one of his skis and skied on down to him and said,' here's your ski, mate', and from there on, we started taLking. We became friends, kept in touch and the rest is history. There wasnt any bLood or heLicopters or anything Like that."




So there u have it. The reaL story.
