Worst Crash?

Mine is really dumb. I had 360's on lock and tried to do a quick one over a 10 foot jump, and landed perfectly at 270, got whipped into the ground, and cracked a few ribs.
 
Fuck I can't find the video but there is this one thats not necessarily that bad but it's pretty awesome. This guy is hauling ass down this backcountry looking slope and hits a jump at the bottom and just flieeesss ridiculously far and lands on his back. It's helmet cam footy too. +K to whoever finds that for me
 
What did you hit your back on?

I'm not doubting the gnarliness of that fall, but I just dont see how your back of all things was hurt.
 
I wish i had it on video but I was mountain biking a few years ago and toward the end of the ride, i was kind of tired and stopped to take a break and when i tried to un-clip from my crappy SPD pedals my foot wouldn't un-clip and i fell cliff side and rolled once with my bike still connected to my feet onto my back. i got stopped by some rocks. when I started back riding again and when the adrenaline wore off my leg started to sting. when i got to the parking lot I had a bunch of punctures and rows of slices on my leg. The big cog had rolled down my calf and then scraped across my leg. It's really hard to see in pictures but the scar is really cool. this is kind of what it looked like594637.png
 


/images/flash_video_placeholder.pngI was talking to a guy on a chair at Brighton and he told me about how he was at Park City on a pow day and ran over a tree. A branch from the tree broke off and went straight through his boot. THis is the result
 
I have scars all the way down my calf from slipping off pedal and having it wedge my calf into my gears, just like in that picture.
 


/images/flash_video_placeholder.pngCan't believe nobody else has posted this, he wasn't in too bad of shape, but this had to be the scariest fucking thing to experience.
 
Skiing. About five years ago my friend persuaded me to try racing. Just casual stuff, no lycra, just clear and steep runs to virtually bomb. They rarely iced the surface for us, so it was practically the same as how I normally ski(ed) groomers, but with an objective. At the time I hadn't got into freeskiing, and I was starting to look for a new way to have fun skiing. The next year, I was in Italy with friends, skiing a slalom race course that had been used in the world cup. I'm not all too sure what went wrong or what happened, but I lost a ski and got the other caught in powder off the side of the slope. That ski didn't come off, twisting my knee and I suffered grade 3 tears to both my left acl and mcl. I took four years away from skiing, and coming back this last winter was the best decision of my life. I live in sheffield now so we have fuck all snow, but next week I'll have finished my backyard setup (hopefully), and I'll probably spend all summer on that, before hitting Tignes for two weeks at christmas.
 
Done that too, apart from I didn't have them on lock. Got thrown into the ground face first and broke my nose, blood everywhere. Blood looks awful on snow.
