Slam Video Details

Skier Pseudonym: Cedar Teionietathe Jocks

Crash Location: Breckenridge, Colorado

Crash Date: 3/1/2010

Slam Detail: Having a mellow urban day while it snowed in Breck. I didn’t see the metal rods holding up the tree in the landing of this rail. Fractured pelvis and punctured bum…. It happens around 11:11 in the video.

***Bloody, gory scenes! If you’re a minor or just get quinsy at the site of huge gaping flesh-wounds, don’t watch!***

If you think this is one of the gnarliest slam vids on the Slytech blog, click on the FACEBOOK LIKE BUTTONS and TWITTER BUTTONS UP TOP. Also ask yourself: could a back protector have helped prevent some of these injuries? Perhaps the belt of a back protector may have protected his upper bum area? Perhaps the coccyx adapter of the back protector could have softened the blow and averted the fracture pelvis? It’s just conjecture, but these are questions worth asking yourself.
