”I am grateful that I am alive.”, he writes on Instagram.
Swedish world star Emil Johansson is four-time world champion in mountainbike slopestyle.
But during the first seconds of his second run in the major competition in Utah in the USA, everything went wrong for the 26-year-old.
Johansson flew off his bike and was only meters from tumbling down over a cliff edge.
"Was lucky and eventually managed to stop before the next drop. Big thanks to Sammy who tried to catch me and held me until the medical team arrived”, he writes.
In the post, Johansson tells that he dislocated his hip, but that he is otherwise "more or less unharmed."
