Overview
- Zimmermann told Bild she borrowed skis, wore a helmet, and skied down a slope during a family holiday in Winterberg, describing the moment as uplifting.
- The 2010 helicopter crash left her with a permanently paralyzed left arm and significant scarring.
- She recounts that a trauma surgeon warned a new fall on the injured arm could lead to amputation, which kept her away from the sport.
- Seeing her sons, Matti and Sepp, take up skiing in early 2025 intensified her resolve to face the fear.
- She has recently discussed the accident's psychological toll, including on Kölner Treff, and now says she feels at peace with herself.
