Wasnt this season how ever. full on freak accident couldnt do it again if i tried.
Was skiing down these like groomer cut outs on the side of a trail kinda like stairs.
was boosting hard and at the end it flattened out hard out, so i was leaning back as hard as i could and boom left ski snapped (k2 extreme). was on one ski with my foot foward like fuck fuck fuck then hit the trail and put my poles and hands out for balance. when my poles hit the snow i skied straight into them. was like a punch from ali in his prime. Lacerated spleen & kidney, perforated colon and collapsed lung. Some one saw it from the chair and called patrol for me so they came but i was on my lunch break at the time and thought i was just super badly winded (dont get me wrong i was in helllllla pain) but told them i didnt want to go with them. So i tried to stand up and couldnt walk and they were like nah mate your coming with us. Heli to hospital lost four litres of blood and now have a super gnar scar from my pelvis to my sternum. took 10 months to recover properly had to learn how to walk and stuff again was crrrrrrazzzzzy!!! But all is good now in austria slaying pow and life is good.
Moral of the story - poles suck. they didnt even break.
one time when i was like 12 i did a 3 off of a little side hit and accidentally stuck my pole into the ground directly in front me - the other side found its way to my pelvis and i got catapulted up. i wasn't going fast enough to have a serious injury but damn it hurt.
