Can you name a pro that has never had a serious ski injury? assuming they are over 21, and have been sponsored for a few years, I cant think of anyone. It seems these days you have to injure yourself to progress.

How the fuck do you expect us to know every pro ever and what/any injuries they've had?

Will Wesson. He takes care of himself better than anyone in the business.

Twall broke a bone in his shoulder a while back. Other then that I can't think of any major injuries he had. Lucky dude, considering how he throws down.

Jon Olson. For the amount of skiing he's done I can't think of any serious injuries.

This was my first thought. For as much as he progressed the sport a few years back, it's crazy that he's never blown a knee or been out for a long time. I think it's because he really takes the pressure off himself. In all the videos I've seen, I've noticed he has a tendency to back off stuff when it gets even a little bit gnarly or he isn't feeling it.

He is also in amazing shape and takes his training in the gym very seriously. I guess Jon is really one of the only ones, depending if u count the meniscus surgery. Wallisch and Wesson have both broken bones i believe.
