ya but luckily it was a carbon fiber or some kind of composite pole so instead of having a pole in my chest, the pole just blew up

One time I was like 12, I was cruising pretty good on a straight groomer and I sat down on my tails and put my poles straight forward over my noses.  After I had my fun doing that I stood up, but as soon as I moved one of my poles dug into the snow and the handle hit me in the face breaking my goggles and I think I got a bloody nose.  Luckily, I was not yet addicted to stylish and expensive eyewear so all I lost was a 15 dollar pair of scotts.

^as much as that sucks and i feel for ya (i have also smashed my face with my pole, but it went into my cheek and i was in the pipe), i bet some of the people on the lifts had a couple of laughs at that, as would most people if they saw that go down haha.

My buddy planted his pole landing switch, causing him to get punched in the face. He ended up with a busted tooth.

i  fell once and my face hit my pole handle, giving me a huge lower lip, thats about it. i dont use poles anymore in the park though so this wont happen anytime soon, in the park. i still use them on actual 'hills' like groomers and glade runs when i go on trips.

when i was in high school and raced, we were lapping a GS course in practice and a girl fell, putting her tip through her GS suit into her thigh.  the damn thing went into her leg up to the basket and she fuckin SCREAMED.  i'm guessing that meant it hurt a bunch.

i was skiing when i was like 10 or 11 and i stopped and fell on to my pole and it hit the corner of my lip and put a massive bloody hole in it, i needed 14 stiches in it, and the cut was only like the width of half your pinky nail. The doctor was cleaning it out and he would squrit sailen solution into from the out side and i would spit it out into a bed pan, it was gnarly.

My pole crushed my kidney against my spine falling on it flat in the pipe.

As the dokter told me: it exploded like an orange like if you throw it at a wall.

3 weeks of hospital...

Extremely painful.

my friends and i were dropping a little cornice and i was feeling pretty confident for a noob so i go and pop hard off the cornice, do a little grab and land.  Suddenly my pole shoots up and smacks me in the side of the face.  i was just laying down cause it hurt so bad.
