Winter Sports: Ski Jumping at Grindelwald (1906)

Jan 1, 1906 Released

Documentary

This exciting and somewhat dangerous sport has attained a popularity at all the Swiss winter resorts that is really remarkable. The film depicts in a most striking way large numbers of Ski jumpers in rapid succession taking most dangerous leaps, and while many of them on alighting on the snow manage to retain an upright position, others come rolling and tumbling over right up to the camera.
