Worst crash/injury you've witnessed?

[SamtheEagle]

I was on a lift at alta and saw a guy fall face first on a groomer but fairly steep face of it. He slid about 20 yards into the trees and hit a few head first and was still moving pretty quickly during the impact. Didn't move for the next 30 seconds i could see him from the lift. When I skid the run he was on a backboard.

or

snowboarder slides a rail backwards (back facing downhill). He can't see where the rail ends do his board drops off and he slams his face into the rail. I ski down to check on him and he lifts up is head and spits out 2 or 3 teeth and tons of blood. I grabbed ski partol for him haha

Last winter my friend attempted a front flip on a 30 ft jump, he landed on his head and neck and was out cold for 20 mins with a grade 2 concussion.

Pics of after crash

It was scary because he was just laying there

Someone at the first or second years of the Dumont Cup, flew off the jump and missed the landing completely. It looked bad.. I will try and find a video

Watch a kid from the lift over shoot a tiny kicker but it was like a hill landing so he fell about 35-40 ft to flat and broke both his femurs.

was behind my friend break his collar bone almost right through when he caught an edge riding to the lift in a dip...

then while recording got another buddy break his collar bone doing a cork seven. skip to 0:40

a few years ago i was skiing in banff alberta in spring. was super super slushy. i caught really weird on a cork 7 and landed right on my upper right side. Got up after being own for like 30 seconds and skiied to the bottom in the most pain i had ever experienced. fell over because of the pain. thought it was my shoulder blade for some reason. i ended up breaking 3 ribs and puncturing and collapsing my lung. was in bed for the next 2 weeks.

I was hitting this field of wind lips all day & this snowboarder thought it looked fun so he joined.

He found one I hadn't seen before & hit it full speed... landed on ice...& Tried to stop but instead slammed into a tree.

The tree snapped his tibia & fibula like nothing. Like fucking nothing. His lower leg and femur were in different worlds.

To make it worse he had to hold onto the tree so he didn't slip down the steep. Looked like a fucked up koala on the real.

I've seen a gaper fall and break his ankle, and I've also seen my friend fall and get knocked out for 20 seconds

I was behind someone that fell and shattered their pelvis so badly that it puncturedalot of their internals.. i could hear the bone crack when he fell, it was horrible
