what is the worst injury you've seen someone else obtain?
yesteday i watched a grown man cry as he broke his tibia in 7 places waterskiing, it was brutal. i had to jump in and swim him into the boat then carry him up onto the dock because i was with all women.
i may have seen worse skiing, but that was pretty bad.
i fractured my wrist in 7th grade, so im sitting at the hospital waiting in the hall, my arms numb, i feel like shit, then this kid and a doctor show up and his arms in a brace or wtv, and hes with his dad. the doctor throws up an xray on the pannel to check it, and the guy had a dislocated shoulder, and i was staring and saw his shoulder and the doctor talking and i just got queesy and just yarfed right on the floor. it was pretty funny.
ya not the same context, but it reminded me
i watched some kid hit a jump on a snowboard and flip about halfway through a backflip, and land irectly on his head at the flat after the landing. smashed hiss helmet, i dont know how bad he wa hurt but an ambulance had to come for him.
in 7th grade football, my friend broke his wrist and it looked like a puzzle piece.
Another one, about 2 weeks ago, a different friend tried doing a 360 over a railing on a deck that was 4 feet high, he was laying on his stomach and his foot was pointing straight up. SICK!!!
cliff jumping in mexico. some guy went off a 50 footer call they called "el sangre". the blood is the litteral translation. the locals find this cliff the hardest because you have to jump about 15 feet out and away from spinky rocks below. this one kid undershoots it and he got partially inpaled on his thigh. compund fracture on the other leg. it was a mess. ambulance came and i dont know if he was ok or not.
One day i was lifeguarding at a locla beach and i saw a guy get dumped by a wave, It was like 10ft that day no joke, cause their was a huge storm the night before, and i got to the guy and he was underwater, so i pulled him up onto the paddleboard by his hair and he had no pulse and wasnt breathing, then i had to get back the the beach in 10ft surf and i was like shit i could end up in the water with him if i wipe out then id be swimming him back and i dont reckon i could of done cause im not strong enough to do that. I brought him to the beach and the head lifeguard resussed him and he was alive and well the next day when he came and visited.
Also on my boat i pulled a dead guy out the water, had to take him back to the marina too, was kinda surreal, hed been dead for over a day too as he was stiff.
a kid on my old mountian bike team was at the dirtjumps one day with him, me, and a ton of others. We were all on our dirt jump / bmx bikes. well he decided to try the expert line for the first time.. now being all cautious and what not he checked it out and asked around. now mind you "EVERYBODY" in the park told him "2 maybe 3" good pedal strokes and just pump. you know that feeling when your hitting a big jump for the first time and you don't want to overshoot. Well, he was feeling it.. so he starts out, 2 pedals. PERFECT. but about halfway down he decides another 9 would be a good idea.. well needless to say he overshoots to his face ON THE NEXT JUMP'S LIP.
Well after everyone was done laughing and aweing, we went to check him out.. and it was Bad. Blood splattered for about 15 ft. and he was just laying there on his face barely breathing. Completely out. After the ambulences and police were done at the scene we went to check him out thouroughly.
The only image i remember is him sitting there with coming from his ears and cheeks but his nose completly dry. *except* for the face that skin from 2" up his nostril had peeled and turned inside out onto his face.. Disgusting..
3 weeks later.. came back. AND STOMPED the line.. just FYI
