any fall which results in twisting of the legs without a pre release is bad news

I deffinatly think its gotta be big jumps. Its big jumps because if you over rotate on your tricks you are definatly screwed or you could over shoot a jump. Check out simon dumonts overshoot.

Double eject on the take off isn't to bad to survive but it fucking hurts your ego and is a great one to watch.

nutshots arent fun, trust me ive had black balls, falling on big jumps can hurt, ive had concussions, driven pole handles and ski tips through my face and had dual broken wrists, but I would take any of those any day over fucking my knee. we're talking 10min-2 days of pain and then you're back on skis versus an excruciating 6-12 months. and as long as you dont base your career off of going retardedly huge off of everything, like simon, you wont overshoot shit that bad.

overshooting for sure. Not only are you probably going to over rotate if you overshoot, but if you just over rotate with the right speed you may not land on your feet but your body will at least be matching the tranny of the jump with will most likely make it hurt a lot less.

I know a dude, we were skiing in shorts last april, seshing the park... hit a rail, nutted... and NO LIE, the friction ripped his sack. I had to look at it while taking him to the doctor and his sack was bruised as hell and literally had like a 2 inch rip on the underside of his sack!!!!!

over shooting def. you feel totally helpless up there, totally alone. for some reason when i over rotate, i can drop my tips and they pull my lower body around. turns 9's into 10 pretty easy lol.

The third video that jibski posted made me lol. Cartwheeling down a mountain or falling in an avalanche are bad.

worst way to crash ever is skiing through deep pow in the woods and breaking your femur on a log that was hidden in the snow, then waiting there for 4 hours yelling for ski patrol.

hitting a cliff, landing in pow, ejecting frm the skis because the pow was so deep, and landing n your face on a rock. then having your brases and teeth sticking through the hole in yur mouth that come from hitting that rock.
that sucks

Undershooting a gap e.g. Wilson @ Rage shoot, Tanner @ Chads

Cathing an edge on hardpack to faceplant is the balls too.

im going to say a forward twist to he knee or landing backseat, switch, on the knuckle causing you to flip backwards down the landing, most likely hitting your head.

i would say when you are carving down a nice green circle and a stupid snowboarder cuts in front of you and you fall and get your butt wet. why cant those stupid snowboarders stay in the snowboard terrain park? it just waddles my cobbfeathers.

this is sort of a re direction, but still relative.

sorry for the threadjackk.
