Ever banged your pole into your face while landing?

lucky me- just got up to the park after lunch, and decided to go for a warm-up run on the medium line..
first jump-straight air with a grab, going on to the second jump felling comfy enough for a 360- pullin the spin but on the landing i banged to pole grip into my face causing 2 cuts by my eye =\

anyone else had this happen to him?

Was bombing it down a ski route last year and using the piste marker poles as a sort of slalom when I hit a bump and got off-balance.. Pole went straight into my adams apple. Felt weird as fuck for couple days! I stopped using piste marker poles as a sort of slalom after that...

two seasons ago I was learning 7s and I bailed out on my first try, and took the pole right to the forehead. somehow it split the gap between my goggles and helmet. my buddy filmed it but apparently it's been hidden by youtube and i can't find it...

i pretend to row with my poles all the time. and do tons of other stuff that puts me at risk for hitting myself in the face. sadly, i think today was my last ski day. so i'm no longer at risk.

Had one a few years ago when I was just starting to try 3's. Landed and planted straight between my legs causing massive testicular and stomach pain.
Sat there in pain for like 15 minutes.
Friends wouldn't stop laughing.

Yesterday while skiing a glade one of my edges caught, right after I pole planted. Pole straight into throat. Hurt like shit, but luckily I wasnt going too fast. I said to myself "holy shit, that could have eneded a lot worse".

One time I was getting on the lift, and there was a big concrete pole. I just sat down on the chair, and idk why put I stuck my pole out to touch the concrete thing, and I misjudged how far away it was, but it was only like 2 feet away, tip of my pole hit it, my hand came flying back and I punched myself in the chin. It was swollen and my mouth was bleeding.
