I fell backwards while skiing. My right leg twisted around and my ski did not come off when I fell. I tore everything in my knee and had to have ACL reconstructive surgery. I'm fine now... my knees are much better, but WOW was I feelin pretty low for awhile. Major injuries are horrible!

Answer 6

Torn a hamstring

Broken a couple of ribs

Answer 7

Last year i went off a jump and when i landed my board caught a groove in the icy snow which caused my board to go out from under me but i was keeping it under control until i fell and my knee twisted and i fractured my tibia... i didnt even know it.  I snowboarded for the rest of that vacation, and found out in april that i fractured it.  It was painful because it didn't heal properly, (too late to do anything for it).  I still snowboard, in fact i just came back from snowboarding today, first time since the fracture and man it felt realy good to get back on the slopes, no matter how bad it started hurting by the end of the day!
