how many concussions do you think is enough to make you stop skiing

i recently had my 5th( all wearing a helmit, ask anyone)...i figure if i get to like 12...i might be picking up the camera insted of my skis

 
Just be sensible, don't let it kill you, but a couple is fine. Isn't the magic number supposed to be five or something?

well with every concusion you get keep us posted, then when you stop posting we'll assume the last number you posted is the limit.

 
I've been hospitalized for 6, lost memory one, out cold once, and had a bunch that I just new I had a concussion (based on past experiences - blurry eyes, headache that won't quit, nausea, etc). Best guess I'd have to say I've had in the range of 12-14 total.

I'm good at landing on my head (and only 1 has been from skiing).

^ agreed. After your first 5 you start to learn how to self diagnose. Hahaha, yeah, I am at 8.

Try sailing. I've just lost count.

don't use concusions as a measure of effort buddy, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Concusion equals brain damage. don't aim for that.

there is no amount of concussions that should stop you from doing what you love, if anything it will just make you loopy and people will probably like you more anyway, cuz then youll actually have a personality

DUDE, I NOW HAVE PIX, CHECK THEM OUT
 
maybe don't risk it and stop doing shit where you hit your head.

ape stead ..you should never speak again, that is one of the dumbest things i've heard on this site yet. yea he should risk permament damage to his mental ability just to keep skiing, maybe doing some camera work and taking a time out isnt such a bad idea

 
I think the point is that you cannot let an injury get in the way, you have to come back from it and go bigger. Do you honestly think anyone that gets really good has done so without taking a few lumps. But yes, you do have to be smart about it and weight the pros and cons before you attempt something.

I'm at four right now I think I lost some short term memory cuz I cant remember shit.

I am a skier because skiing needs a future

hell yeah karma sucks, i broke a kids foot last year in football and this year... broken foot.

it depends on how severe the concussion is. a few of minor concussions aren't too bad, but a few severe concussions could be really bad. I'd be sensible about your skiing if you wanted to continue skiing for a long time (helmets?)

I've only had 1, and it was mountain biking. Once I got stuck upside down on a jump while skiing, and the whole time I was just thinking 'here comes a concussion.' But instead I just ended up being unable to walk for a week and a half.

i don't feel at all effected by them, but i don't want to reach at point where i do.

its not gonna slow me down in anyway...the most it could ever do is keep me from jumping

*but my last one was really wierd...i drove home from the mt. then emediately started to feel like shit

parents took me to the hospital when i started puking then i basically blacked out...because i don't remeber fighting a cop and 3 three nurses in the hospital...or the 45min abulance ride

F%#KEd up shit i tell ya

 
Just don't do shit that's way beyond your ability. Obviously if you've had five you're doing something wrong.

id probably stop jumping if the doctor told me i had to go on the chris dufficy program.

sometimes when im running water to wash dishes or something, i think about how lucky i am to have such simple access to running water and how some people will never know such a simple pleasure.

then i let it run for awhile, just because i can.

 
I have a friend whose doctor said if he gets anymore concussions, he might die. The last one he got, he overshot a roller during a DH race, and ran head first into a tree. He twitches now.

VIVA LA FRONTFLIP!
 
How the hell did you get a concussion that lasted 9 months?

dude concussions stay with you your whole life, they just build up on top of each other, and the more that you have, the easier it is to get another one.

ive only had one, when i was 11, sledding on ice, went off 10+ foot cliff in woods (on accident) hit a tree. its was awsome. hehe.

Why don't you take a long walk on a short peir.
 
ive had one nonremebering one not too long ago. thats all i can think of. but i might have had others and just didnt know i did, like when i fell head and face first into the pavement, i didnt really know what i did, i just tried to find my way nome with blood pouring like a faucet out my nose

just look at what happened to eric lindross. once considered the best player since Sir wayne, now he is just an afterthought when he is healthy, and probally has the cognant ability of a broken crayon. i have had 9, but only 2 or 3 serious ones (like blackout and long term memory effects), but they are a bitch. like someone above said, once you have one, it is easier to get another, so that kind of sucks.

just listen to doctor is best because it depends on how bad your first couple are

mah i feel for you man, i love to skateboard but i just can't do it anymore cause it fucks up my ankles way too bad, never had a concussion before... i think the legal limit on hockey players is 5. look on the bright side, if you irrevocably fuck yourself up, you wont remember any of it! yippeee
