A scary scene played out Tuesday on the slopes of an international skiing event in Italy.

Video shows a drone nearly smashing into champion Austrian alpine skier Marcel Hirscher. 

The near miss happened during the World Cup slalom event at Madonna di Campiglio, Italy.

Hirscher, cool as a cucumber, took to Instagram to call himself "lucky" and described it as "heavy air traffic."
