Chemmy Alcott diving injury in France

Overview

Former British Olympic alpine skier and current BBC presenter Chemmy Alcott suffered a collapsed lung following a diving accident at Lac d'Annecy in the French Alps during a family holiday.

While attempting a forward somersault from a five-meter platform, the 44-year-old miscalculated her rotation and struck the water with significant force. Alcott reported that she initially attempted a second jump due to embarrassment before realizing the severity of her breathing difficulties.

The injury required medical intervention, specifically a thoracic drainage to remove air and fluid from her chest, and necessitated several nights of hospitalization for recovery.
