Snapped leg and broken boot

[askchristian]

my friend was trying to teach my other friend how to to do a front flip and he had wimped out 2 times. it was my first day on my new ski (armada al dentes). I asked my friend that if i tried a front flip would he? and he agreed. so i tried a front flip and i committed but the tails of my skis hit the ground and didn't eject then my boot went forward and my bone shot out of my leg. getting to the point the ski patrol had to cut my full tilt tom wallisch boots off my foot and my friend told me that full tilt might send me new boots if i draw a boot on my cast so my friend whois artsy drew this. what else should i do?

Damn dude, that is gnarly. Sorry for your loss. Did they let you keep the boot?

 

[askchristian]

ya i got to keep the boot but they cut all the way up the middle of the boot. Ar you thinking i should send it back?

 

[JBoyington]

I would send it to full tilt

Quality site discussion.

i want to see what full tilt says before i send in the boot because they haven't even responded to the email i sent to them 5 days ago. i will just wait and see what they say then.

Did your other buddy nut up and give it a try?

the boots are up at my cottage along with my skis. i left the skis up there because i won't be skiing until next year. and no my friend didn't try the front flip after.

Maybe lower your din a little before going out next year?

 

[DungeonMaster]

Whata bitch. The proper thing to do is guilt his ass into a front flip. It will be healthy for him

 

[askchristian]

that's the thing. on my previous skis the din was at 7, on my al dentes i told the people who mounted them that i was 5 feet 7 inches and 130 pounds and they set my new din at 6! so it was lower and they still didn't eject.

Most bindings cannot eject at a 180degree angle in the toe piece, so do not blame it on the skis/bindings. Under rotating a fronty and landing on tails would cause your boots toe to lift up, and the binding wouldn't let it. There are a few brands out there that have release in every direction on both pieces, so try to get a pair like those next season.
