Replying to The "I have blown my knee" Thread
So lets face it we are skiers and will most likely encounter a knee injury somewhere throughout our dazzling adventures throughout the mountains. Now i am curious of how it happened (if it has happened), you know the background story, where, when, all that good stuff.
I will begin-
Age 15, skiing Breck's pipe first day on new skis and new bindings, was trying to train pipe because i suck at it, caught my tail on a nine which sent me clear into the middle of the pipe because of the awkward pop off the wall. I couldn't tell which way was up so I just went limp and prepared for impact. Unfourtunately i was stuck upside-down and i landed on my back/ head with the tail of my right ski hitting just after the initial impact, twisting my knee and Snap there goes a season, ACL, 2nd degree stretch of the MCL, and a couple tears of the meniscus with an extra topping of a concussion, (second one within a few months of eachother (first was a car accident)). January, 20, 2008. Approx. 3 pm, yep last run. Skied down on one foot because i thought i was fine.
Lets hear your stories!
