Sniping people with ski's

Yeah so yesterday I 2 on'd the downbox at gore, slid out fell etc etc. My ski ejects, my brakes dont come out and it just goes off. Naturally, I'm used to this BS so I watch where it goes so i can find it. It goes down the terrain park, past the hip, past the pole for the ganjola and BAM! right into a gaper. Funniest thing ever. Knocks this guy down, pops his ski's off, and in the process stops my ski. I ski down happily, say thank you and sorry real quick and i bounced.

probably the best thing that has ever happened to me because of bindings malfunctioning.

BOOM HEADSHOT!
 
Only thing i've sniped with my skis were myself ... Landed switch short on a jump, one ski drops, stopper works(for once), but due to the speed, it just launches in the air and when i look behind to go get my ski it hits me right in the chest...
 
one time my ski popped off in sum bumpy stuff and the tail popped up and hit me in the nose and my nose started bleedin all over the place
 
I did a switch 5, basically landed but my shitty marker bindings released. The brake broke so the ski went switch down to the base of the ski area. Pretty wierd cause it was crowded as shit on mlk weekend, and the ski actually went in between people. Like it moved(not just going straight), and it missed everybody. Then it was out of site. I skied down and everyone was looking at me pointing to where my ski was and it was poined a completely different direction and the brake was totally gone. I think it hit some body though.
 
I cracked the plastic where the screw holes were in my brakes on Saturday coming off a box switch (no idea how this happen) and the brake assembly fell completely off. My ski took off tried to hit the rainbow rail, but failed miserably. It then continued down the hill toward the halfpipe, right down the center of it. By some crazy stroke of luck, it gets wedged in some dude's bindings. Right under the boot, between the boot and the bindings... I didn't even know this was possible. I ski down and spend a good minute trying to free my ski. After that I say thanks and sorry and ski away from this awkward situation, brake in hand.

That is actually a true story.
 
yah i had my skis fly of and the brakes dont pop out some times and one time it went all the way down and hit one of the chairlift poles......the park was right below a chiarlift so everyone was laughing at my noob ass, didn't kill my ski though just a bit ghettoer than they already are
 
my brakes on my old s912's never went down. I only sniped trees and shit at the bottom of the park. I got myself in the back if the head once when I bailed in pow. I still have no idea how it happened
 
never had anything like that happen (thou as anyone with turntables knows, the brakes are mostly for decoration), but i once took the heelclamp of some looks right to the joint of my elbow, about split it in half. i couldnt flex my elbow for a few weeks.
 
i lost a ski last weekend off a 50 footer. my brakes didnt come down, as usual, and hit my friend and knocked him over. the tip is all fucked up and now i have no right ski until the shop gets me a new one.
 
lucky no one was injured, that would of been shit for you. I was skiing with my friends at killy awhile back and it was a few days after some fresh snow. trails were groomed, but the woods were still fresh so we were cutting in and out of them for some first tracks. anyway, a boarder friend of mine isn't doing too well in the pow cause he wasn't used to it and he got stuck. he trudges out of the woods holding his board and drops it on the groomed trail. it flew down and we all chased after it until it fell off the side of the trail.
 
at our montain its always snowboards that go down and take out people- i was skimboarding and fell and my baord went up the beach and came back down slamming me me in the arm had a decent cut- plus skimboards alway hit my ankles- hurts like hell
