Everyone's messed themselves up somehow doing something, how have y'all newschoolers managed to mangle your corpses?

3 Concussions
Broken Wrist
Broken Nose
Bent Collarbone
Piece of my knee-cap broke off
Broken Hand
Broken toe
Cracked ribs

I've been fortunate enough to avoid anything that kept me down too long!
My recoveries have been pretty smooth, how about everyone else?

- busted out 6 teeth
- broken collar bone
- bone chip in my knee/sprained MCL
- bruised heel (this actually fucking killed)
- slipped disc in back

overall not too bad, every injury was skiing related- wouldn't have it any other way

Heres what the scar looks like almost 5 years later.

It's 6.5 inches long and I have no feeling left in that side of my thigh due to nerve damage.

Osgood Schlatters/sore ACLs all the time

Yes, definitely... I've had some pretty major traumatic brain injury, and it's greatly affected my short-term memory. Furthermore, I have headaches nearly 24/7, and it doesn't take much to trigger a severe migraine. It's not something I'd wish upon anybody. Take care of your brain!

Word. I wasn't trying to be rude or sarcastic in anyway, I can never tell with people over the internet. But I was being real. Your brains are important people! It is what allows you to learn new tricks, besides the rest of your body.

I didn't sense any sarcasm at all; I was completely agreeing with you! Two nights ago, I asked my boyfriend if he was going to brush his teeth... five minutes after watching him brush his right next to me. I'll forget what I'm talking about in the middle of a sentence sometimes. It's incredibly frustrating and embarrassing. :(

Not entirely sure... But I'm tougher than I look! Thankfully, I haven't had any major injuries for the past few years, and I'm finally getting my knee surgery (six years later) next month.

My body hurts. A lot.

vibes dude, atleast you'll have some badass stories when you get older. I'm getting a bit older now and I got some pains myself so I can only imagine what you're going through. As long as you can still ski, it aint that bad!

Curious about the corresponding surgeries/recoveries from each of these injuries if you would be so kind. A sparknotes version would be fine.

I've had one Grade 3 concussion (the worst kind) and it took me about 2 weeks to start thinking properly again. Head injuries screw you up big time. The most aggravating part for me is that I can't remember that whole day no matter how hard i try. Its just weird that 24 hours of my life disappeared from my memory.

Advice for all of you guys, don't go skiing the park 2 days after you get your widsom teeth out. I hit a 35 footer and blacked out in mid air and landed on the knuckle head first (I was wearing my brain bucket, don't want to imagine what wouldve happened if i wasn't wearing it). We skied a couple more runs but my friends go worried after all i would say was yes or no to anything they said. I still have no memory of that whole day of skiing.

Was the knife through hand self inflicted or did someone try to shank you?

So far I am at 2 concussions (skiing), cracked left kneecap (indoor soccer), messed up neck from wrestling (don't know exactly what is wrong with it but I haven't been allowed to play contact sports since 5th grade), and broken right tibia x2 (skiing and tramp).  Preparing for more this ski season, should be fun.

Thank you. They're not so badass when I think about the fact that I might not be walking again if I give birth or when I'm 35. We'll see, though... I've made it this far!

I hardly ski anymore. I took up competitive distance running after my last major back injury, but my knee is limiting that, too. Weight lifting is my major outlet these days. I'm hoping to get more back into skiing after my knee surgery, but I honestly don't think that my back can handle my aggressive style anymore. I don't have any cartilage in my right hip anymore, and shit hurts! I have pretty bad arthritis in my back, combined with fused vertebrae.

This is an x-ray of my back from six years ago:

ouch. if you think about this though, when you were a kid you weren't idolizing the older folks that were charging-- you were idolizing the older shredders that were doing super smooth turns. it's all about the turns! I suggest you pick up a few 30 racks, a one-piece, and some straight skis for this next season!

Self inflicted. I was trying to untape my hockey stick and the knife slipped and went in my hand in my palm and was poking out the otherside.

Hahahaha that's very true! If/when I get back into skiing regularly, I'll be rocking ON3Ps 'til I die! The one-piece is a definitely possibility, though... :)

Broken wrists, both arms.
3 times had to get stitches on my head
1 time had to get staples in my head after eating shit on a double backflip (trampoline, /claim)
Numerous bloody noses from eating shit or getting hit by shit, as in gushing blood, not some pussy dribble.
Big blood blister under my toe from skateboarding, not very impressive looking but one of the most painful injuries I've ever had. Burned the nail bed popping it too, which was fun.
standard stuff like sprained ankles, large turf burns, bruises, gashes, etc.

Been generally lucky so far. Knock on wood.
