Just be sensible, don't let it kill you, but a couple is fine. Isn't the magic number supposed to be five or something?

I've been hospitalized for 6, lost memory one, out cold once, and had a bunch that I just new I had a concussion (based on past experiences - blurry eyes, headache that won't quit, nausea, etc). Best guess I'd have to say I've had in the range of 12-14 total.

I'm good at landing on my head (and only 1 has been from skiing).

don't use concusions as a measure of effort buddy, that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. Concusion equals brain damage. don't aim for that.

there is no amount of concussions that should stop you from doing what you love, if anything it will just make you loopy and people will probably like you more anyway, cuz then youll actually have a personality

ape stead ..you should never speak again, that is one of the dumbest things i've heard on this site yet. yea he should risk permament damage to his mental ability just to keep skiing, maybe doing some camera work and taking a time out isnt such a bad idea

I think the point is that you cannot let an injury get in the way, you have to come back from it and go bigger. Do you honestly think anyone that gets really good has done so without taking a few lumps. But yes, you do have to be smart about it and weight the pros and cons before you attempt something.

it depends on how severe the concussion is. a few of minor concussions aren't too bad, but a few severe concussions could be really bad. I'd be sensible about your skiing if you wanted to continue skiing for a long time (helmets?)

I've only had 1, and it was mountain biking. Once I got stuck upside down on a jump while skiing, and the whole time I was just thinking 'here comes a concussion.' But instead I just ended up being unable to walk for a week and a half.

i don't feel at all effected by them, but i don't want to reach at point where i do.
its not gonna slow me down in anyway...the most it could ever do is keep me from jumping

*but my last one was really wierd...i drove home from the mt. then emediately started to feel like shit
parents took me to the hospital when i started puking then i basically blacked out...because i don't remeber fighting a cop and 3 three nurses in the hospital...or the 45min abulance ride

Just don't do shit that's way beyond your ability. Obviously if you've had five you're doing something wrong.

I guy I knew, Ryan Shrieve, died of too many concusions. There is a point where you need to stop and take a break. He was a Pro wakeboarder, skier and fire fighter

I have a friend whose doctor said if he gets anymore concussions, he might die. The last one he got, he overshot a roller during a DH race, and ran head first into a tree. He twitches now.

dude concussions stay with you your whole life, they just build up on top of each other, and the more that you have, the easier it is to get another one.

just look at what happened to eric lindross. once considered the best player since Sir wayne, now he is just an afterthought when he is healthy, and probally has the cognant ability of a broken crayon. i have had 9, but only 2 or 3 serious ones (like blackout and long term memory effects), but they are a bitch. like someone above said, once you have one, it is easier to get another, so that kind of sucks.
