Thought my friend was dead

So this past saturday we were at my local mtn, and at the end of the day my friend and two others decided to do a 7 train, and my friend went last.
He got the rotation perfectly, but right off the bat he went compeltely off-axis and landed right on his side, and judging by his height you would've sworn he had died, or at least broken something

mount st louis built a crazy step up gap on the last day. my friend craig came within about a foot of not making the gap and slamming into a wall then dropping like 25 feet.
also, someone else got all screwed up in the air, ended up making the landing then falling clean off the side onto their head
i think they were ok though.

I did a cork 5, overshot the landing, landed on flat and I wasnt uncorked yet. :(
I had blood coming out both nostrils, my buddy filmed it lol. I have the footage, its funny to watch but was scary at the time. The cork 5 was sick but then You see one ski flying straight up in the air and then you see me sliding on the landing quickly, I wish he would have filmed my face after that landing cause I had to look so fucked up lol It was two years ago

my friend (invader7) was on the deck of the table at bogus for a reason i forgot, when a skier next to him just takes a run down the landing as a snowboarder is jumping the lip. the snowboarder lands like a foot away from the skier, but had they been lined up, the skier would be dead, or in a ton of pain from being mario hopped.

^ saw the same thing once but not in a park, at the end of a slope some boarder took a natural jump straight into an old man who was fucked up pretty bad, don't know if he made it but he was unconscience and breathed very shallow. Apparently it wasn't an accident either, the boarder had cut off the old man on the slope before and the man started yelling at him. Sad story!
Last year I went skiïng with some friends and there was this guy we didn't know, he told everyone he was a good skiër so we decided pretty quick to go offpiste, at that time we realised the guy could barely ski. We were at a point where you couldn't return anymore so he had to ski with us al the way down, a disaster! Had to keep helping him get out of the pow pow after he fell like 10x and on this one descent he managed to fuck up his ankle, knee and shoulder. Well we didn't care after about an hour since he turned out to be a complete asshole. So it was funny haha. Actually ran into him again this year and he decided to follow me, without asking me, so I managed to let him screw up his knee again haha less funny is that I screwed up my ski's doing it because I took him skiing on rocks instead of snow, but ey it was worth it!

i watched a 12 year old do that on a 9, and broke his arm. both skis poped up, and as soon as he hit the gound he was on his feet again sprinting in circles screaming

Thats crazy man, the exact same thing happened to me except I was doing a 5. I threw the 5 and for some reason I went off axis and ended up landing right on my side and braking 2 bones if my thumb. I still havent figured out why I went off axis, but my guess is that one of my skis some how got caught on the jump or something like that.

Hey idiot, stop doing stupid stuff and ruining parks for everyone. You're going to get someone killed eventually and then the park will be taken away for good.

i was going of this icy booter and carved in to spin (cause i snowboard, dont hate) and it made me turn vertical and so when i was leaning in to spin it made me do 3 quarters of a backflip and i landed past the landing flat onto my head pretty much exactly like the guy who wipes out on the stratton train video, and i couldnt breath for like 2 minutes, and i was coughing up blood a little bit, and i had a bruise on each vertebrey on my back it looked weird, and once at mountsaint louie there was this box with two metal poles sticking out before the box, and i fell on the run up for some reason and slammed into it at like 20 miles per hour, and the metal poles hit me in the hip and and upper rib, it really really sucked

speaking of crashing on 7s....
last year at high north on the before last day, my buddy will was throwing down..... We convinced him to take his newly acquired 7 to the small side of the big table (about 45 ft)... he takes off, looks like he stomps it, but somehow the dude on the table, mike atkinson i think... closes the jump, and sprints down the landing....
turns out will stomped it so hard, his quad ripped his knee cap, along with his patellar tendon and part of his shin bone up and over....
