So i was at the Freestyle Skiing Ontario Provincial competition where i was training to lay down an "ok" run. In training i fell on a misty 720 and hurt my hip flexer really bad. I thought i was done for the day. Last minute (after watching my friends throw down in training), i decided to try and compete with the injury.

After landing my practice run the competition started and i was ready to go. After hitting the first rail feature and first jump, i was in an "ok" spot to try a rodeo 720 on the last jump. Of course i was hyped and took in too much speed. i over rotated the trick to my face. I thought i was fine until i was about to drop in on my second run when i forgot what my run was and what the course looked like. I stepped back and took it in for a second. Minutes later i forgot where i was, how i got there and started freaking out.

Later on my memory came back, but holy S**t that was one of the scariest things that's ever happened when i was skiing.

Had I dropped in for my second run, I believe that i could have really hurt myself and given myself more than just a minor concussion.

All I want to say to the community is to not be so naive about head injuries. Im lucky I got away with just a concussion. B

Be careful out there guys.

 
just yesterday, a snowboarder went for a dub wildcat in my resorts big air. He knuckled the jump with his head and started going into a seizure. Scariest experience of my life and it was even me
 
Saw a guy faceplant on ice. Went unconscious for a couple of minutes, had a seizure, puked blood, screamed like he was possessed and kept asking where he was and said he couldn't move or feel his body. All of this while I was holding his head and neck still. Shit was scary as fuck, don't ski without a helmet. ever.
 
head injuries are something not to play with.

1. I know a girl that slipped on ice and went into a coma

2. one time I slipped at a waterpark woke up in hospital

3. one time I way overshot a backflip got knocked the fuck out ran to my car and was so dazed I forgot all my gear at the lodge had spins all night, ended up sleeping through a full day and still was nauseas

 
One time i tryed to backflip a tiny jump and stuck my tips and smashed my face totge ground. My goggle lenses snaped, my nose was gushing and i could not remember what i was doing or where i was or even my name
 
fuck man my grandpa slipped and fell on some ice about a week ago. we all thought he was fine until he started to act more confused than usual and we brought him to the hospital thinking it still wasnt a big deal. An hour later he was brain dead, his brain had bled out. Dont take head injuries lightly is the motto of this thread maybe.
 
Saw some kid go Dub Flat and knuckled straight to his head in our mountains big air comp 2 days ago. He almost died. Not sure how his condition is but he went to the hospital pretty fucked up. Always wear a helmet.
 
went for double backflip last season after a lot of peer pressure. Sent it and went tips in to face, supposedly. I say supposedly because all I remember is going off the jump, and then waking up lying on my back at the bottom with two of my buddies standing over me. Scary shit.
 
Head injuries are bad. I've had a shit ton of them. Now there are lots of things I probably will never remember again. And some of the things I can take me a long time. Trying to talk while thinking and find information I know is in my head somewhere.

Also got headaches for a year or so after my last good one. Always worn a helmet the last few years though.
 
this experience wasn't skiing but when riding my bike in second grade going down a hill without a helmet i fell and blacked out i laid on the sidewalk puking and unable to move for a half an hour before my neighbor saw me and rushed me to the hospital. If my neighbor hadn't seen me i could have died. Never ride or ski with out a helmet. Be safe out there guys.
 
I overrotated a double at Laax snowpark. Crashed on my head and broke an helmet. Still cant remember what i had done that day. The people i was with told me it was speaking always the same nonsense shit in loops that progressively got shorter. I ended up falling on the ground rolling like i was possessed. They took me to the hospital. Only a concussion, but shit got so scared when i woke up in a hospital 2 days after not knowing why i was there. That changed my attitude and made me realize i have limits
 
I'm 11 and I'll nick all u m8's in the gabber I swear on me mum's life, I'm gathering the boys for a proper rumble as we speak.
 
Hit a tree two years ago, don't still don't remember anything from a minute before the impact until a week later. Didn't even remember I went to the hospital until I felt the staples in my head the next weekend
 
I've missed this whole season because of a head injury. I was trying a bio 12 on a trampoline. At least i'll be able to ski again.
 
in elementry school i once was playing soccer than took a ball to the head woke up 5 mins later surronded by random people...wasnt to badbut still kinda scary no remembering anything that happend and waking up with a massive headache
 
My sister took the front of a board to the side of her head by an airborne rider who came from out of the woods. It split her helmet and she was in and out of it and had a pretty bad concussion. I've had my fair share from playing hockey but that was the worst I've ever seen.
 
was getting pulled down my friends street by a snowmobile and into a booter, i was leaned a little to far back and before i knew it my feet were almost over my head, luckily i got my shit together and started to lean forward and saved my head from getting stuck in between my shoulders. moral of the story, wear a helmet unlike me
 
I have skied with me helmet my whole life, but it still wasn't enough. After five concussions I can remember I finally had to quite all action sports(including skiing) hardest but smartest decisions of my life. Be thankful for what you have and don't take a single run for granted.
 
Got cut off on a black. No idea where she came from but all I remember is hearing screaming and then picking up her ski's down the mountain and apologizing. Ski Patrol saw the collision and wrote on the report that she collided with me, not the other way around...either way I don't remember. It's been two years and I'm still feeling the side effects of my concussion. My short term memory is spotty but it could have been worse if I wasn't wearing my helmet. The sad thing is I wasn't even in the park.
 
caught an edge on a blind surface swap, fell off the rail and whiplashed my head onto ice. probably should not have driven home after that.
 
last year i went for a front off the knuckle of a pretty big jump so it had a steep landing. I ended up going way to big and rotated two and a half flips to my head. I came to about 30 min. later talking to the patrollers at the base and they told me what went down. I guess a guy saw it from the lift and told them. What they told me was that i was passed out under the jump for 15 min. and somehow got myself down. i have no memory of it. That was my second concussion in less than a year so i pretty much wasnt able to hit my head till around a month ago. gnarly shit
