he fell on his head skiing moguls, and a few broken vertebrae went into his spinal cord. its really a tragic story
 
no its sad about what happened, dont get me wrong, but i dont understand why someone would make a thread like this. it seems like a plea for attention
 
What the fuck is wrong with you man? This guy shares a story about his mountain, and its sad, and all you can do is call him an attention whore? your an asshole, and you don't deserve to ski.

they had some nice mellow bumps about 3weeks ago or so... not sure how you could land on your head, unless he was jumping off them or something??
 
ive never skied sundown in my life. i was lookin through the newspaper ans just saw the article...

here are a few quotes from it

"A teenage boy is not supposed to go skiing and end up pralyzed.

"

"The high school sophmore had jumped a mogul at Ski Sundown in New Hartford, Conn., when he fell and hit his head..."

The mom ran out to him because she saw it from the lodge and the kid was conscience saying "mom, its ok"
 
If My mind serves me right thats the bigger kid who hit the jump and crashed. Not the moguls. Im on the ski patrol and luckly I wasnt there that night
 
the only time i've been there i broke my nose because i landed on my face on their crazy-sketch quarter pipe. i can easily see how the kid could bust his neck up.
 
this is really sad, it wud suck so much and u guys for real lets not hear stories about breaking ur nose or tearing ur acl, he is paralyzed its a huge difference, save it for a less trgaic event and id doubt ud wanna die even if u cant see ud still have family and friends to live for, i prob sound really gay but its the straight up truth
 
my point was:

we both landed on our heads. i sure as hell know i didn't intend on doing so, and i can assume that he didn't either. therefore, its not much of a jump to realize "it could happen to anyone" and perhaps we should take a moment to reflect. i did.

and i would much rather die than be paralyzed from the neck down like reeves.
 
dam dude that sux so bad...i feel real sry for that kid..i could never imagine never being able to walk or stand or ski or do nething of that nature again.
 
cant describe how sad that makes me!

but does anyone know if hes going to be paralyzed forever or temporarily?

and dont get me wrong. but there is the possibility in some cases to be able to walk again after some time...
 
when the kid was there the big rainbow wasnt up yea but he fell and it was terrible so i still get sick to my stomach everytime i tihnk about it
 
I could never live paralyzed. That must of been scary after he fell trying to get up, or in the hospital trying to move before he knew he was paralyzed, and not being able to. I would scream.
 
i really really really hope this kid gets better, something like that happend at my mtn. the kid was in a coma for 2 months, not trying to take away from this kid. I hop ehe gets better
