Never really had a big crash. Biggest one I can remember was trying to disaster a sketchy flat down high as fuck. The rail itself was sick, but the lip was awkward so I sent it real hard and came down a second too early.
Front foot caught an edge and I got flung downhill. Luckily I missed the down part of the rail, but there is few things scarier than catching an edge and being thrown down the rail.
Ended up slamming my head and shoulder into the ground, arm was half tingly half paralyzed for the next couple of runs and I thought my concussion was coming back but I slept like a baby that night and was fine by the morning.

Missed the bag on this bag jump. Don't ask me how... I caught an edge and just turned hard to the left as I was going off. Landed right on my chest and I was fine. Realll lucky. (not me in the picture)

My mountain had this stupid 7 or 8 foot spine set up with a big propane tank thingy at the top meant for you to stall on. Except it was too much like a kicker and not vertical enough. So this one cold and icy day something possessed me to do a hand plant on it. Got way too much speed and hand planted it but then flew sideways and landed on my side on the flat 10 feet away. Hit my head when I landed pretty hard, had a minor concussion and a major nosebleed but that was all. Not that bad but was still scary to me.

this was like back in 06 or something before i actually understood anything about park skiing other than i liked to hit the lips of rails as jumps and thought i was dope... mountain had a jump. probably like 30 footer. i tucked that fucker from the top of the park, cranked it, immediately saw the landing dissapear and came crashing down on flat and slid to the bottom of the park. somehow i was fine, but now im petrified of jumps bigger than 30 feet.

Haven't Really Gotten into any serious situations yet but I dislocated My shoulder when I was hitting some natural jumps in jay. I picked a Bad line and had bad form on the takeoff. Ended up landing with my weight down the hill, leaning back. I ejected and slammed directly onto my right shoulder... Right under the lift.

oooooh man, I had a fall that put the fear of God in me 4 seasons ago.
I'm 22, its March, and I'm at Winter Park in it's Dark Territory having myself an all time day. Semi-slush conditions, lighter winds, people are throwing down, life is good.
We're doing park laps all day. It's getting later (call it 2:45-3 ish), and I was gonna go for another cork 5 on the last jump in their dark territory, probably 60 feet from take off to knuckle. Mind you, its later, so the snow has hardened up a bit, and I didn't notice the wind had died down...
Needless to say, I popped off the lip of this jump, set my spin, and nearly immediately realized my mistake. I watched my landing saaaaiiiilllll away. I was going to overshoot this thing, big time. panic ensues, I overcork, and the first thing that hits the ground is my face, at the bottom of this landing (like, the very bottom. almost ran out of real estate). My goggles explode on impact, but my helmet stays intact. I slide to the bottom of this landing, motionless. Do the "what's broken" check, and surprisingly, I'm good, no concussion but the right side of my face is swelling up quick, and the vision in my right eye is all fucked up. Ski patrol is on me in 2 minutes. I know the guy. My first question is "how bad is my face?" and this guy Alex goes "...pretty bad." Second question: "Is my right eye still in there?" and he goes ".uhhhhhhh..." [panics internally] "yea, think you're good" [relief].
After 6 stitches, some anti-swelling / pain meds, a whole bunch of gauze, and some x-rays (negative on the orbital lobe fracture, I have no idea how), I walked away. that was the end of me getting super sendy though. Adulthood, man...

Last year I was far too inebriated to be skiing, let alone in the park. I cased a 30 footer. I think if I wasn't a limp drunk noodle I probably would have blown my knees out and my dick off!
Only time wrecking myself wasted has paid off!
