Answer 1

oh that sucks. i was going off a jump with like a 25 foot clearing and i hit where it starts to go down ( the knuckle) and bounced landed on my back and then landed back on my feet and snowboarded away. i broke parts of my back and hyper extended both of my knees.

Answer 2

Unfortunalty im laided up right now b/c of this crash 2 saturdays ago.

So we just a really bad ice storm, but i hadent been riding in like 2 weeks so I had to go. ( the night before i get a little tipsy)

So i go right to the park, and bomb off the 1st booter. I get squirly right before the takoff of the jump b/c  i was so icy and try to get solid, but to no avail, this thing shot me supersideways upside down, landed on my head and was instantly knocked out cold. B/C of being knocked out i wasnt able to put my hands out in any way to soften the fall on straight ice. I landed with all my weight on my left hip, and got severe brusing to my pelvis and hip, along with some fun blood clots ta boot. This was 2 saturdays ago, i still cant walk right and if i sit for long periods of time and stand up quick sometimes i fall down b/c i cant put alot of weight on my left leg.   And the worst part is that we have got 2 snowstorms in the past 4 days, with 10 inches of fresh, and we are getting another foot dumper today. My phone has been ringing off the hook with my boyz trying to get me to go ride after the storm tomorrow, Im still in alot of pain, but i dont want to pass up the super fun pow pow, and i know if i strap in i will end up in the park b/c i cant help myself...  So thats my story and im sad and cant ride right now

Answer 3

i slipped and did kind of a barrel roll in the air and snapped three bones in my arm

Answer 4

i slipped and toubled half way down the beginners hill! LOL

Answer 5

Super icy, caught edge coming off a small kicker.  Tore my hamstring.

Answer 6

d**n i got a lot of these...well the worst one is probably from hitting this super-gnarly entrance that i knew was too iced up to shred and ended up catching my edge right into a tree and broke 3 ribs and punctured a lung haha

Answer 7

The first time I went boarding I went with some friends who were really good. They convinced me I could hit this little kicker and be fine if I went slow. I ended up hitting it really fast and when I landed I caught my front edge which whipped me face first into the ice. It was a bad year so NO powder just ice. I was knocked out cold for about 10 minutes til my buddies got back up to me. They shook me and woke me up. Next thing I know I'm back on the lift again. Didn't even remember finishing the run. All of a sudden my head started hurting so bad I couldn't see straight. Made it SLOWLY to the bottom and had a narly concussion. But hey still nothing more fun than boarding!

Answer 8

Not much really. Just a few fractured ribs.

Answer 9

oooh yeah...the fun of snowboarding!  Yeah so I was going over a joba and caught ecge on my board.  I flew out and landed on my face.  I woke up and couldnt quite remember how I got there.  Everyone told me I had a concussion for awhile.  There was blood in the snow from biting my lip and I got this big gash on my upper cheak...and still a scar there today (happened a year ago).  The next week I had to walk around with a black eye in school and at work.

But hey...dont you just love it!!!

Answer 10

Wow.. a lot of stories here. Mine is not as serious as some, but here it is:

First time when I boarded, went down a slope, tried to stop with toe edge, messed up and landed backward when I was facing the hill. Landed on my tail bone and my back and hit my head. The snow was hard, seems like very old snow.

Another time when I boarded, didn't stop properly, I fell and tried to hold myself up with my hand, and sprained my wrist with a huge bruise near my thumb, a size like a ping pong ball.

Answer 11

when i was 9 (it was my first time) a skier cut me off and i was on an expert slope,and i flipped like 10  times and landed on my head.

i thought i broke my neck at first.
