K. So I coach for a freestyle team. Today I had the little kids. I sent one of them up the lift with his brother and 2 adults. The only reason they have to go on the lift with adults in the first place is cuz they're mother is a crazy psycho-bitch who thinks her kid has "hypersensitivity disorder", which according to her makes him jump off the chair lift randomly. But that's another story.
These kids are 7 and 8 years old. The one concerned here is 7. As they're getting off at the top, the old guy falls on the 7 year old kid. The kid starts lying on the ground screaming his head off that his leg hurts and it feels like it's broken. Well, whatever right? Little kids don't know shit. I walk over and see that his leg is not pointing the way it is supposed to at all. So fuck. Me and my boss, who thankfully was coaching with me right then, get the patrollers, who happened to be standing right there. We go over and deal with them and the kid, and the other kids I'm coaching at the time, and while this is happening the prick who crushed the shit out of my kid skis off.
Turns out in the end that the kid broke his femur right in two. He's lucky too; clean break, no complications or cut arteries or anything.
He'll be out for over a year with rehab and shit. And the fucking prick who did it just skiied off without so much as a word. If I ever see him again, I think I'm going to have to beat the living shit out of him. And I'll have a line of about 8 other coaches and 20 or 30 parents behind me waiting to do the same thing.
