Worst Ski Related Injury

Djosh11 · 2010-07-15 23:26:37

Well, I'm extremely bored and trying to get some more posts on this website since I'm fairly new. So I'm posting kind of random threads but hopefully interesting. What's the worst injury you've sustained whilst on a pair of skis?

I'll reply cause I'm going through recovery now. Shattered my whole lower leg and knee. Had it all reconstructed, 2 months in the hospital, 12 procedures, 4 plates, 20 screws. It's been a crazy 4 months, and easily have another 4 of rehab.

dude vibes, my dad had the same problem two years ago and, 15 operations later, and recovery still being far away, I'm literally with him in the emergency room right now because he fell and fucking broke it again. he also can never ski again. life seems pretty shitty after an event like this, I count my blessings everyday

Separated my shoulder and ripped up the ligaments inside while chipping up the bones. Surgery was really fun and I can't wait for real physical activity.

Hmm I've been pretty lucky so far - worst was a broken arm - only like 4 weeks in a cast and in like 2 months my arm recovered 100%.

Also, since you're new, here's a few tips:

1. Don't post just to get a higher post count. I mean if you have good points to contribute or have an actual reason to make a thread, by all means go for it.
2. Use the searchbar before making a post - this is definitely a repost but it's not a big deal.

Haha and finally, good luck on NS - Hating is a standard.

I have broken both my wrists. And kinda have a claim story. So Im skiing at Summit Boardshops back yard before a comp to warm up, with Craig Weiler and SUMMIT team rider Mike Hornbeck. I figure I need to get a few tricks on lock for tonight if I want any chance of making finals, and to impress Hornbeck I guess. I go in switch to the hand rail, trying switch lip in, back 4 out. I get on just fine and set my self for the rotation, didnt set hard enough landed completely sideways, land face first and literally bounced back up from hitting my head so hard and fell over again. I try to stand up and ski away, but I blacked out for a good 5 minutes. Wake up, Helmet broken, and a raging head ache. I proceeded to keep skiing and ski in the comp. which was a bad idea.

I hope no body reads that, probably full of grammatical errors and shit.
