How much to pros fall?

Just thinking about this, and not necessarily learning tricks or anything but while out filming edits or just riding with their friends.... How many times do you think pros fall on the average day, and on what? Rails, jumps, groomers, lift lines, etc?

Well i guess it depends what theyre hitting.

Obviously hitting urban is going to result in many more falls than a fun day lapping the park.

Kinda a dumb question its obviously going to be speculation..it depends on wayy to many factors ....but I know when Im lapping doing tricks I know I rarely fall..If Im trying new ones Im going to be falling way more..

take 2 skis times 13 features per lap (1lx13f)+ 6 beers divided by 3.14 - 13a - 2.666666 x 8 hours of skiing (2.6666666 x 8h) divided by the square room of pie = 2.6065

usually if ur a pro, u have skied for a really long time and usually they dont fall a lot because they arent really trying anything new. theyve pretty much perfected everything...well almost, and this is where they start falling. on something they dont do very often

I have watched Christien Bieri tear it up run after run at Unbound, Mammoth a few years back. He did not crash once in the 8-9 runs I watched. My guess these guys fall 1-2 times a day unless getting into new tricks.
