Danny Davis suffers scary halfpipe crash in Olympic qualifier (video)

Needing to impress an Olympic selection committee, Danny Davis suffered one of the most brutal-looking crashes in a halfpipe snowboarding contest.

The Sochi Olympian and two-time X Games champion crumpled on the lip of the pipe in his second of three runs in Mammoth Mountain, Calif., on Saturday night.

He walked out of the pipe but did not take a third run.

It came in the fourth and final Olympic selection event, three weeks before the PyeongChang Winter Games.

Shaun White, Ben Ferguson and Jake Pates had already clinched the first three Olympic spots last week.
