Injuries in the snow

a thread is typically started by a provacative, interesting, funny, or conversation-starting question and/or statement in the title, followed by anything else that needs to be said preceding desired responses, not just a bunch of nouns. so yeah....

i'll give you a break because you're new and ride Wisp. i've been fortunate to just come up with a mild sprained ankle and been slightly concussed.
 
new skis, 300 dollars....

two broken thumbs, one on each hand

the best one is when i did a kinda front flip on a sled and had some bone come through my left elbow, casted for six months
 
partially torn lcm, torn acl and mcl.

tons of bruises, something to my back that i never checked cuz didn't have health insurance.

thats pretty much it, the rest is minor stuff.
 
tore almost all the muscles in my rotator cuff, severe hyperextension / pulled ligament in elbow, multipe bruises.
 
concussed, and spiral fracture on my femur(one of the worse fractures, other than being completely crushed)
 
oh and in the crash for the broken thumb, i ripped off like half the skin on my face falling in some spring snow on a jump. ouch.
 
hit a tree this season, resulting in bruises and blood. bruised my ribs really badly. about to start physical therapy for my knee..

3 concussions
twice broken tailbone
2 dilcations on my right shoulder
3 broken ribs
1 broken pelvis
2 stressed vertibra
1 disloctated or like fucked up collar bone
2 broken toes
1 broken finger
 
broke like 5 fingers 4 or 5 concussions broken jaw 3 broken teeth a slipped disk a torn liebrum (meaning my shoulder subluxed on every landing and sometimes would feel like dislocated) shoved my heelbone through my muscle shin splints and thats all i can remember now
 
four stitches in my lip..... a hole in my acl the size of a nickle and mcl damage along w/ a shredded medial meniscus but thats not directly due to skiing.... and i broke my leg skiing when i was like 3...

 
shatered tib/fib broken knee cap, broken both clavicals at the same time, broken all fingers, tore all the tendents in my right hand, broken nose,
 
i made the name KarmaSkiier cuz i ski on Volkl Karmas. and when i made the name i was brand new to the site and had no clue what karma was.
 
My 8th grade math teacher broke his femur trying to hit 30 foot jump on a sled. He was like 60 years old, kinda ballsy, and didn't have a lot of common sense.

For me this season (between two pretty bad falls):

Concussion, broken thumb, chipped elbow, 2 fractured vertebrae, 3 herniated discs.
 
dislocated and broke my shoulder once and i broke both my thumbs at the same time last season
 
so one day im skiing back country and what not. last run of the day i see this huge ass kicker. i hit it and land with my knee hitting me in the mouth.... lost 4 teeth broke 2 killed 3 and my braces went straight through my mouth/lips...they were everywhere. so i found 3 teeth in the snow, huge puddles of blood everywhere. i was so fucking pissed.... i was reached by ski patrolers 3hrs later and got to the hospital 5 hrs after that. so amlmost half my teeth died. i had 2 surgeries, one where they pulled my tooth that was almost touching my ear going through the mouth... and 2-3 root canals, where they drill holes in your teeth and fill it in what not,(hurts like no other). so after all this my teeth recover in about half a year, no eating for the entire time so i have to blend all my food and stuff. im all good and it comes to soccer season.... i get kicked in the fucking mouth.... losing another tooth my whole bottom row of teeth are laying flat on my tounge and theres another surgery...and 2 months of eating nothing but liquids. i then get these mucolseals that are like bubbles in your lip and they cut they out and stitch me up again.... so basically ive gone through so much fucking pain.... basically overall it was close to a $20,000 accident. not adding the fake teeth that im going to get (implants) atleast 4 of them, about $1,500 each tooth but that is when im 21....and im 16. but i always wear a mouth guard for every sport. i even have a chin guard on my helmet... any impact to my mouth will fuck me up...even the slightest hit... its so fucking gay.

still havent gotten my wisdom teeth out yet....sooooo fucked up. so pissed......
 
4 broken fingers

2 broken toes

fractured skull

sprained knee

pulled neck muscles

serious concussion

ruptured sacs in my knee

lots of bruises

broken rib

=]
 
my thumb clicks whenever i bend it. that's about it. when i'm in the park i'm spinning, not flipping, so not a lot of room for serious injury there. when i drop cliffs, it's into super-deep pow. when i pull flips, it's into pow. i'll probably kill myself someday though, catch an edge on delirium dive or something. oh and i always wear a helmet so i do a decent job of preventing concussions too.
