I agree, shit happens. Sometimes it's the luck of the draw.
I crashed on my new Ducati, hit sand in a turn and highsided, got hurt pretty bad but lucky enough to survive. I went back to that turn, the sand was not visible, no way to avoid it, or take any precautions.
I'm sure MS was an expert skier, it just sounds like a very unfortunate accident.

Shit happens when you least expect it. And when you're not expecting it, it's really hard to recover and/or brace for the fall.
I just hope Schumi doesn't end up in a disabled state. That would be brutal.
