What is the dumbest ski injury that you have had?

I'll go first, one time I was skiing in my yard with some homies sessioning some pvc. I decided that it would be smart to ski of my porch so the pvc was like a down rail. I ate it at the bottom of the rail and dislocated all my fingers in my left hand.

Compound fracture on my T12 vertebrae from bombing closed trail… so fucking stupid, makes my stomach turn thinking of how invincible I thought I was when I was 22.

like 4 seasons ago i had never successfully slid a rail before, had prolly only tried like 3-4 times on a tube, but one day out on the hill with my friends I drunkenly thought id grease a flat down, slipped out on the flat to down transition, landed right on the rail and dislocated my elbow. fully healed up at this point but elbow has never felt 100% the same as it did

My older brother was a solid park skier but broke his collarbone doing a switch one on the smallest jump in the park

Followed my friend who was a foot shorter than me into a kicker, matched him turn for turn and was surprised when I sailed over the landing deep into the gucci plateau. Had enough air time to fully comprehend what i’d done and think about how much it was going to hurt my knee (which had no ACL at that point)
Landed on my feet but just crumpled on impact, full yard sale.
Picked myself up, was stoked to not have a sore knee but my shoulder felt funny.
Skied down to the table of the next kicker which my friend was waiting on having heard me swearing about how big I went, showed him my shoulder and I was close to a compound fracture of my collar bone. Once I looked I went light headed and I got told to sit the fuck down before I fell down.
Managed to avoid getting heli’d off (they love a trip in the helivac in Europe), got a sled down and a taxi to the hospital (despite their attempts to call me an ambulance) and that was my season ended with 2 weeks to go.

When I was 10 I went into the park at 9:00 a.m. when it was still super icy because I thought it would be less crowded. I went down and overshot a jump 15 feet straight to my back almost broke my back in the process.

Lucky i was small so I bounced back pretty quick afterward.

Last week I fractured my patella(kneecap) trying to lazily nollie onto a 4ft. flat box, proceeding to catch both tips like a total gaper and smash my knee on the very end of the box.

Its always the little things when you're not fully focused that get me lol

I was switch carving down an easy groomer and dropped a pole and the tip planted into the snow. The handle slammed into my left butt cheek and left a nasty welt and my buddies had a good laugh at me limping the rest of the day.

I sent my first ever backflip and landed it, then I got all cocky and went for another one only to panic mid-air and untuck. Landed flat on my head luckily I was wearing a good helmet which def saved my ass. At this point my head was throbbing and I def had a mild concussion so I decided to keep skiing! The next day I hit my head again falling off a rail. Dont be like me, if you hit your head and see stars, just take a break.

Was at the top of the run barely sliding sideways while looking up hill talking to my friends before we actually dropped. I was talking and not paying attention and fixing my pole straps or something. Again, barely moving. Somehow one of my poles hit the snow right below my downhill ski and instantly stopped me.

Instant faceplant, broken nose, double black eye, actually spider cracked my Oakley A-Frame lenses that I was wearing. Didn't know lenses could do that but I guess those were structured enough to have that happen. My friends all had a great laugh until they realized how messed up I actually was haha.

To this day I still don't know how that much damage actually happened.

-On the lift going up
-see a snowboarder hitting the biggest jump in the park with way too much speed
-he overshoots the whole landing and snaps his board
-see he is ok, chuckle in disbelief that he snapped his board
-next run do a 180 on the same jump
-2017 volkl revolt says fuck this, bottom layer tears open from the tail on impact
-teared open ski catches and sends me flying down the landing, full yard sale
-karma is a bitch

Last year - wasn't paying attention and hit a little kicker and caught an edge on landing. Fall wasn't anything dramatic or anything...no yard sale. Next day, could hardly walk, couldn't lift myself up on my right leg. After a week, my right foot went completely numb. Ended up being diagnosed with a herniated disc at L5/S1 and had to have spinal surgery to have the whole disc removed. In fairness, I think that the disc was already fucked up and the bad landing was just what caused the thing to push fully against the nerve bundle and totally gimp me

First run after downing an absurd amount of food in the resort caf. Felt super lazy and full but still wanted to nb3 over this corrugated tube but as I said, felt lazy. Ended up clipping my ski and got launched straight up and landed shoulder-first into solid ice. Sat up and heard hella crunching in my shoulder and knew instantly I broke my collarbone. Had zero feeling in my hand/arm for like 10 mins. Skied down to first aid and didn't have anything else on my mind other than how stupid that was. Super preventable but I learned a lot from that so maybe it's for good reason.

In bed recovering from my worst crash. Hit a roller over a steep drop at mach 5 this morning, threw a shiftie and landed on a patch of ice. Skis slid out in front of me, popped off and I took the heel piece of a griffon directly to the back at 90km/hr. The guilty ski had dug itself into the ice while my body was taken to the meat grinder over top of it. Took me ten minutes to stop squirming around and I wanted to slit my throat with my other ski edge to end the pain. No jokes, worst fall in nearly 40 years of skiing.

Give me a day or two for the bruising to max out. Felt like someone was trying to fuck my lower back with the end of a baseball bat.
