Worst ski pole related injury

aha, today i was on the l;ift adn i was sittingo n my poles because i didt weuna hold them my friend is like get off sitting on your poles i was like k easy ?.

turns out it was ahrder then i thought,it got stuck in hte back and i pullled up and jsut SACKED MYSELF SO BAD ! aha dontk ow hwy i use them but i still doo
 
1-i was going for a spin on a quarter-pipe thingy and somehow dug my pole into the lip and got handle right in the ribcage...twice

2-i hit a rail badly and the rail was pretty high so when i came off, my pole got caught in it and smashed me right in the jaw.
 
you have skiing PE class? wow you are really lucky i wish my school had that. you must live real close to the mountain.

when i was like 12 there was a midstation on a lift, and being an idiot i stuck my poles into the ground for some reason, and they bent 90 degrees and then cracked in half by the time i was at the top of the mountin. had to go buy some new poles.
 
planted my pole betwwen my teeth by accident and knocked out my 2 front teath and anoter time i got stabbed in the leg
 
At the end of january in a mogul comp my pole handle jabbed into my stomach and up behind my ribs on landing..... blew my spleen into 3 pieces and ended the season. spent 5 days in the hospital.
 
flat light and came in to moguls that i didnt see flew forward out of both skis...pole went up under my gogs and i got a huge black eye...ill look for pics later
 
like 3 or 4 years ago i was skiing over this little roller i would pop off of, and i popped really off balanced and was flailing, so naturally my pole plants directly under my sack which i land on. It was the only event to bend my 1080 poles, and it was done with my balls. fuck that
 
that's ironic...

no ski pole injuries but my friend nutted himself at park city on a battle ship rail and ripped his sack open and almost smashed and killed his right nut. his nut sack was the size of a grapefruit. they gave him a bunch of Oxycontin and then he didn't care about shit.
 
when i was younger I did this shitty 180 and landed awkwardly but looking over my shoulder. When I landed my head whipped down and my pole planted in the ground and cracked me in the face but no major harm, no foul
 
you would incorrect in thinking it was the simpsons. it twas not the simpsons but it is south park

other than that you were correct
 
I made a profile just so I can share my husband’s freak accident! We were visiting our home state of NH and given lift tickets for Christmas from my parents. My husband had never skied before, so our friends and I took him on really easy green circles. He seemed to be doing really well, so for the last run of the day, we took him on a blue square. The snow was turning into mashed potatoes, so he had a little trouble, but nothing terrible. We were nearing the bottom half when he wiped out. I stopped and made my way back up to check on him. He was laying down, looked at me, and said, “Am I bleeding?”, while blood poured out his neck. I dry heaved and realized his ski pole had inverted when he crashed, and it had impaled his neck. Blood was all over his coat and the ground. The pole had gone through his neck and scraped a molar inside his mouth. The ski patrol brought him down and stitched him up and we went back to my parents’ house.

A few days later, we were still visiting my parents, but the stitches needed to come out. Since we were not near his duty station, we had to find someone who could remove them. The only person we knew was a vet student- she told my husband to bark if it hurt.

He now has a small scar on his neck and has never been skiing since!

South Park classic lmao
 
Picture my friend skiing 80 mph while listening to "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins. He really started jamming out to the drum solo. He mimicked playing the drums with his ski poles by hitting the ground in front of him. Unfortunately for him, he planted his pole on accident so that it was angled directly at his crotch. His forward momentum acted as a launch pad against the stillness of his pole. His pole perfectly housed itself into his crotch. And he was airborne, flying through the air, screaming in agony, launching 30 feet down the run. I have never seen a phil collins drum solo go so wrong.

I call bullshit on this whole thing. Ski patrol doesn’t stitch up neck wounds. Stitches don’t come out a few days later. Any human urgent care office could have removed the stitches.

I'm glad it was not me! The pole snapped, then went through his leg!

After reading here, I'm glad I don't use poles!
