i have never actually gotten seriously hurt skiing, but last year early season at killy, i fucking bombed a hill with like 100 people on it (really dumb), and i didnt see the cat track ahead of me and i fucking flew off of it, did a 90, landed and flipped proabably 3 or 4 times on man made snow on the side of the trail. amazingly i wasnt hurt at all, but the embarassement was unbearable, i felt like a complete dumbass, and in truth i was.
