Onlookers at a skijoring event Sheridan, Wyoming, audibly gasped when a skier got their landing all wrong after going over a jump.

Erin Sio recorded the startling moment on February 22, when the skier, who was being pulled along by a rider on horseback, lost balance after making a jump.

Another video has a different angle of the event that shows the skier slide a few meters after the fall.

Sio told Storyful: “The participant ended up requiring ambulance assistance after catching too much air on the last jump.”

According to the event Facebook page, skijoring is a competition in which “a horse and rider pull a skier along a course that has gates, jumps and rings”. Credit: Erin Sio via Storyful
