Answer 3

Inexperienced mogule attempt which has caused me to flip 3 times,,, knocked out for a few minutes

Answer 4

Stay out of the death parks and just ride within your limits.  Going down at 25mph plus is gonna kill.  Ever feel your a**s bounce off your spine, not good.

Answer 5

I tore my pcl (kinda like an acl but not really) on an awesome fall on a jump that was way out of my league.... Also i twisted both my ankles at the same time when my board broke in half on a rail.

Answer 6

Of all my years riding the worst I've ever had was a broken leg and ankle. Was in a plaster cast (full leg) for about 6 months. It's the worst thing ever cos you can't get around or do things that you are used to doing. Taking a shower sucks big time. Had to sit and have my leg wrapped up in a garbage bag. :S This happened 9 years ago. No serious damage done cos i was still in my early teens so i healed up nice and quick. You just gotta be careful. Don't let these stories stop you from snowboarding. My best friend has been snowboarding for 12 years and she has not ever had any injuries. It's different for everyone.  Happy Riding. =D

Answer 7

shattered my left shin on a rail and backed flipped over!

can't wait to get back out there!

Answer 8

I broke my left humerus (just above my elbow) a bit over two weeks ago.  The way the bone broke stretched the radial nerve and as a resuly my hand doesn't move much right now but the doctors are 90% sure it will come back.

Can't wait until next season!

Edited to add:  it was icy, I caught my heel edge and took a good tumble.  Whoever gave me a thumbs down can bite me.

why did I get a thumbs down?

Answer 9

board slipped out on ice, fell on my tail bone, never got it checked but still hurts from last year. It hurts to sit on a hard chair for a long period of time...fell bunch of other times doing stupid things/trying new stuff. but where mostly soft landings..knock on wood..

Answer 10

a skier cut me off and i went like flipping out like crazy, i thought i broke my neck at first.

Answer 11

Tore my hamstring.  Caught edge on a patch of ice landing a 360

Answer 12

lasy year i was boarding at gunstock in NH, caus thats were im from, and im with scotti lago, whos a pro, and we were racing, and i went off a 35' jump, thats about right in my league, and i was unclipping my bindings on one foot, caus thats my fav move, and my bindings were already off on my other foot, i wnet off the jump, board came out from under me, i broke 4 ribs, one ankle, my back, my humerous, my elow on the other arm, and both wrists, one of the bones on my wrist was sticking out through my skin! it was gross, and i was at the hospital for 2 weeks. it sucked. i entered the video for scarred, and it got accepted and its gonna air in 3 weeks. my friend was videotaping when we were racing. but yea im still snowboarding this year, its not over yet!

Answer 13

earlier this year i hyper extended both elbows, broke my left wrist and broke my nose all in one fall. thats probly my worst one. ive broke my face on a rail also but that wasn't as bad as this most recent one.

Answer 14

dislocated shoulder and paritally torn rotator cuff

Answer 15

Broken tailbone(fell on a protruding rock, fcking ouch) fractured wrist, twisted knee, displaced vertabrae in my back when a snowboarder hit me from behind when i bailed out right under a jump, obscuring my view.

and i came like 4 millimeters from shattering my right femur, it would have put me off the slopes for good, i still thank god to this day that i can still board.

Hehe, i just realized i have a bit of a track record of injury with snowboarding! ah well! the dangerous ones are my style!

Dude collin, that sucks man! next time try not unclippin the other one before doin the dam 3 foot jump lol

Answer 16

I attempted a switch backside three and over rotated landing facing up the hill did about thre flips slid for a few feet and i was fine until my flips threw me at the C box and i did like a face slide breaking my nose and jaw and then ran into another boarder causing me to go into the trees breaking my arm collar bone and four ribs one of which was sticking out of my skin then passed out. Spent the next three weeks in hospital and couldn't board for the rest of the season. Was a total downer. But don't let scary fall story's stop you from boarding it is the best sport out there!! Shred the gnar.
