Hey all, what's everyone's best (or worst) bail?! Nothing like double ejecting over a green roller and rag dolling at mach under the chair, am I right?

Post you wickedest bail, your most embarrassing, or your most ridiculous bail here.

My wickedest bail isn't too extreme, was on an unmarked run at Fernie Alpine Resort in British Columbia. I was flying down an icy chute between a couple runs and lost a ski in some crud as I came out. I stayed on the single ski for a few meters... Then I dug in and yard sailed; two tomahawks and countless barrel-rolls. Ended up with a minor concussion and can't believe I didn't break anything.

+Karma for good stories.

Mine had to be last year at Blue Mountain in PA. I've gone to this mtn many times and found a pretty sweet side trail between 2 blowers and pine trees. The first time I went down it was fine. went super fast and got nice air at the landing from a dip. The second time not so much. I leaned it a little too far forward and completely ate it. Head over heels tumbles and yard saled everything haha. Thank god i didnt snap my neck. My cousin who was with me stood in shock for a few mins because I got right up and was laughing about it. Dodged a bullet on that one.

One time i was 3'ing a jump, and being a complete dumb ass i under-rotated to a perfect 270, and ended up leaning way forward, so that when i hit the ground, my edges dug in and i got whipped into the ground and broke some ribs.

Oh Blue... but I ride there too so let's shred. I've gotta say my worst bail was at Camelback PA. I caught an edge at the top of a series of large bumps. I then proceeded to rag-doll down the entire trail. This caused me to go and purchase a helmet the very next day. In retrospect, I am still in disbelief that I didn;t suffer any injury.

I was mobbing down a run with my ski team on my slalom skis (K2 Enemies) and launched off a roller. When I hit the ground again I realized that my ski was very far behind me. I turned sideways on one ski and went flying down the run barrel rolling and tomahawking. I was quite sore afterwards

I was dropping into Corbetts on my Icelantic Shamans (Huge Triangle shaped tips) and my right tip went under my left and I pretty much just stopped halfway on the drop in, with my skis crossed and I pretty much just had to jump in. Scary while happening, hilarious to watch the footage

Not worst bail but relatively funny,

Big 7 too far to flat, yard sale, goggles smashed into face and scarred nose. Came around at 7 and saw I still was falling quite the distance, oops. All right in front of my boss 30min before I had to work. Had a bleeding gash for a few hrs, other than that, just fine.

Haha I made the Session 5 Crash Edit for Windells.

It was the last run of the day, I have my backpack on as my getting a group together to leave for the day. I'd stomped a bunch of tricks that day and knew I was tired, but I'd just seen Tom Wallisch do a 2 on pretz 2 out with a helmet in one hand and backpack + poles in the other and thought it was no biggie. So i drop, get caught, eat shit, and grab my gatorade bottle as it flew out of my bag.

Tried to pencil 10 when I crossed my skis and clicked one of them off in the air. Luckily it was a pow day, so the landing was soft and I made sure to land on my side. It still knocked the wind out of me pretty good.
