As the 2012/2013 season come to an end, I'm sure many of you have stories of how far you pushed your limits, and the injuries that were the result of meeting your limits. Let's hear your stories.

I managed to stay fairly healthy, Only a minor concussion, and two torn rotator cuffs (both shoulders).

So, what have you got NS?

surprisingly not that bad, the tib/fib broke in the boot instead of at the top so the boot actually made shit more stable. I've just been doing mellow cruising obviously, but still, i'll take it.

Faceplanted hard into a cat track. got a super minor concussion. my friend said it was hilarious to watch me do a face butter and my skis sat there perfectly side by side.
Another friend broke his collarbone 360ing a puddle.

Anything without a picture from a flesh wound or xray doesn't count. Official shit!

Sometimes I wonder if I know how to take a fall or if I've just been lucky not to break/tear anything.

Are you guys that have broken or tore muscles/bones generally in good shape or were they freak accidents?
