You gotta’ give it to Richard Branson, pilot, businessman, adventurer extraordinaire: he just goes for s***. The last time we heard from Branson, he’d just taken a big tumble on his bike in the British Virgin Islands training for an endurance event. A wreck that he said at the time nearly killed him.
Fast forward to last week and Branson, who was already nursing a sore shoulder, takes a massive beater on the slopes of Verbier but avoided further injury. “Just recovered from my shoulder injury, went skiing, my ski fell off and I fell hard on the same injured shoulder,” he wrote. “Remarkably, no further damage done.” Luck was with Mr. Branson.
