It actually did happen to a very prominent Canadian skier at the time, Ken Reed, at the 1980 Winter Olympics held at Lace Placid.
Slightly different circumstances, but about same distance from starting gate. I think his binding released or something, he lost a ski.
Very disappointing since he was a huge favorite to do well.
