could you write down your worst injuries from skiing and how you got it. I'd like to make a list of the things happening of skiing.
 
ruptured kidney tore my spleen in half ruptured live collaspsed bottom halves of both my lungs i did that landing on a rock on a BC booter it was a fun time season ender
 
How are we complaining? This dude was just asking what injurys we have had before.
 
i'd be interested to know which pros have or have not had any injuries though, on the cliff jump vid in engelberg jamie pierre said he'd never hurt himself skiing. anyone know interestin shit like that shout it out.
 
I did a few cartwheels when I misjudged a 30 foot rock patch and stuck when I went to jump over it. Lots of blood, a headache, and torn up clothes from that. 8 months later now I have a total of 4 months at the chiropractor, about 5 visits to the doctor, and now I have braces because I fucked up my neck and mouth so badly. Even though I came down in a sled, it wasn't a bad injury at the time. Just shows what happens when you neglect back and neck injuries too long.
 
tore a tendent n my knee over shot a landin g, flipped off a double barrel landed on my stomach and a few bloody noses/lips nothing too bad
 
two weeks ago i broke my back, first day on snow. We were hitting a jump up in northern vermont and i over rotated, stopping all momentum on impact. I ended up compressing my spine and burst fracturing my L5 vertebrae. Im in a brace for the next six weeks and they are saying six months to a year before I'm 100%. Ended my ski season before november.
 
That sucks! Good luck with the recovery and remember: what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Just make sure to ski twice as hard next season.
