but if you have seen the video with gus kenworthy skiing with a sling cause he just had surgery in his shoulder something made me wanna ski.

more like alot different. depending on the brake in you clavicle if you move to much it could pierce your heart. at last thats what I was told when I broke mine

bad idea. ive broken it three times and it can easily break when it isnt fully healed. i now its tempting but it isnt worth it.

I snapped mine clean in half this season. Couldn't afford to get surgury when I was supposed to. Skiied about 2 months after and now its been 4 and its still always hurting me. Be careful. Skiing before your supposed to is a very easy way to re-injure and wreck your whole season.

I skied the weekend after i broke mine, but any kind of rough landing hurt like hell. I dont know if i would reccommend doing it.

i would say its a really bad idea.i just had surgery on mine and was asking the doctor what would happen if i skied on it before it was healed. it will be really easy to rebreak until it has completely strengthened. it will be way better in the long run if you just let it heal up

Wallisch did last year at the dew tour just a few days after he broke his, he was not competing or anything but he was skiing.

I wouldnt risk it, it may never heal properly if you dont allow it too. When i broke mine it hurt when it took any impact, even going down stairs up until about 4 and a half weeks.
