INJURIES!

I've also hit a tree stump. I thought it was a jump because there were tracks going up to and over it. ( always scope a jump before you hit it). since it was basically a 3.5 ft wall my upper body didn't slow, but it took my feet out. I gave myself a concusion from my pole. it bent on my head. IT wasn't thet bad, just stupid, and now funny

Collapsed my left lung once, after trying to 180 outta a switch landing, and much worse i think, I came down parralell to the parking lot after an early 720 attempt when I was 15. Really bad call = shattered elbow, concussion, internal bleeding (kidney)(pole happened to be in the right place to both help in the elbow bit and to gimme the internal stuff) That's mine. Then there's smaller stuff like broken nose and biting tongue etc.

hmm... well, im a baby, so most of them dont count; but the one that i have the most scars from... yeah... well i was riding down this wicked huge hill on my bike, coming back from the beach, wiht shorts and my bathing suit top... and holding my shirt in my hand. so this little kid runs out in front of me, as i was going way too fast (i would have crashed sooner or later, i guess...) so i slammed on breaks... but only the front ones locked... and i did like, three some odd flips before i hit the ground, on my back and slid down the remainder of the hill. my whole back is more or less a scar, and then ive still got gravel in my elbow, and this incredibley gross looking one on my leg. yup... and then this other time... a boarder took me out at the ankles... and i flew out of my skis... did something, and landed on my head. my dad beat the shit out of that guy. haha. yeah, like i said, im a baby!! 
oh right, and i blew out my knees, but that doesnt really count.

My worst have to be:
- Very young, stuck my thumb in an old water pump when my mom was using it, it was a historic monument thing, and I pulled out and my thumbnail ripped out.
- Very Young again, was climbing up a toybox and slipped, cut my lip open, still have the scar. Looks like the blair witch thing
- Fairly Young, jumped off my playground thing, about 10 feet high to flat, one leg bent, the other... didn't. My heel jammed up and swoll up a LOT.
- Fairly Young, was climbing up my friends tree fort that was pretty high up an tree and fell off backwards landing on a fence like /\/\/\/\/\. I still have the scar.
- Couple Years ago, I just started aggressive biking stuff and I had a beast of a bike. I took a 4 foot bridge drop that was kind of sloping up hill so I tried to huck it. I landed on my head spraining my back, knocking myself out for a while, and cost a lot of money for treatments.
- Long Term. 9 years of hockey, hundreds of dollars of Chiropractic treatments. I was always targeted because I was the captain / assistant captain of some of my teams and I played Rep league and full contact league. Now my back and everything else cracks a lot and I'm scared of things like arthritis and all that.

It might not be the worst but it is skiing related and rather unsuall.
I work at a ski shop and the machine that does the bases is made by Winterstieger and the machine is this huge thing called a grindrite.
You run the ski over the stone or belt which run anywher from 100 rpm to 1000 rpm and it takes of some of the base removing all the little scratches and what not redoing the base and finishing it like new.
It uses water while it spins so it does not take too much off.
If you leave the stone wet over night it can get all warped so u have to let it spin for about 10 minuted without water at the highest speed 1000 rpm.
WE HAD AN IDIOT WHO WANTED TO GET HOME EARLY SO WHILE IT WAS SPINNING HE TRIED TO ALSO DRY IT WITH A TOWEL.
THE MACHINE SUCKED IN THE TOWEL AND HIS HAND AS WELL G R I N D I N G HALF ON INCH OFF HIS FINGER.

That last story reminds me of the idiots I used to work with. we would have meat slicers going. (a foot diameter spinning blade). they would try to clean it with their fingers while it was still spinning. One guy lost the tip of his finger, and got to go on workers comp because he is a stupid kid.

Broke my nose playing baseball. Running in while someone was practice swinging and got clocked right on the bridge of my nose. Unconscious and had to get X-rays, but once the pain goes away its not bad cause no cast or anything.
Never had a bad ski injury, fractured thumb or sprained hand are my worst ski injuries. I have hurt m knees doing stupid stuff so many times that it's just crazy, I'm pretty sure I've torn stuff in my kness but I never go to the doctor when I get hurt, just walk it off, even if it takes a few weeks of walking it off.
It's probably not very smart.

Too much to read..but anyways. My first bad injury was a broken wrist after tripping while going down the slide on my feet in grade 1. I had a lot of stitchs growing up...my most famous being 2 stitches in my finger after being the first in my friend group to break a beer bottle over my head (13 hits in a row). More recently, 3 concussions from wakeboarding....2 within 2 weeks of each other. a 4th concussion from skiing. Aside from that...nothing else.

Back in te summer around when i was in 6th grade, i was riding my bike down the street as fast as i could. it was a bmx bike so it only had one gear, but i didn't think about that part at the time , so i trie to keep peddling faster after i was way past the gear's limit. my feet slipped straight off of the peddles and i started to wobble back and forth. eventually i flipped over the handle bars and flipped like crazy all over the middle of the street for almost like 50 feet or so. after i stopped thrashing around all over the pavement from the crash, i just layed there for like a half an hour as cars rode by me and just stared. after laying there long enough, some guy from across the street from where i was laying picked me up and carried me off the street like i was roadkill. amazingly enough, i didn't get anyhting worse than scrapes and bruises all over my body and i couldn't move for like a week, and like the guy said above, helmets will save your life, sure saved mine that day

shattered my elbow on a 70 foot roadgap on new years eve two years ago when i landed on my back and hit my elbow on a rock. if i wouldnt have thrown myself forward i would have landed on my head and probably died. but i missed the whole season, got a plate and 9 pins put in my elbow for a year, but i have a burly scar and have the footage on tape. it still sucked though, and now im too afraid of getting hurt to do shit i could do like 3 years ago
