Broken wrist due to ski patrol.

So last night i was doing my average park laps, and it was about 8:00 p.m. i was going down a dark trail to our chair lift, and there was a patrol toboggan standing up, like i said it was very dark, well i was going to the chairlift and right when i turned the corner, i heard a large crack and could barely move my wrist without it hurting very badly.

Has this ever happened to someone else? Thoughts?

Wait, so you skied into a big blaze orange toboggan that was stood up?



Sounds like you should blame your brain, eyes and general lack of ski skills but idk.

The chances of this having happened to someone else are very, very low

It's too bad they don't come with warning labels. Every one of them should have a large sign next to it similar to this.

This makes so much more sense when I picture it happening at Ski Bowl.

mobbing in the dark with a headlamp is irresponsible

OP and people like him are the reason there are unnecessary warning labels on everything these days.

Sounds like it was far more your fault than the fluorescent orange toboggan, but that's just Me.

Dude this one time I was fucking bookin down my mountain, it was my first run, obviously I had to ski hard and get a feel. Next thing I know, I hit a ski patrol guy fixing one of the snow blowers! Like what a fucking idiot! Totally his fault! Totally not mine at all!

-story structure of almost every ski patrol hate comment.

You should probably sue. If it's unlabeled, it was definitely their fault

OP, your post makes close to zero sense, but from what I can gather it sounds like it you're at fault. Maybe you could try to explain again, this time in English.

It may have been more of my fault except it was pitch black and the sled was dark orange and wasn't florescent.

I think I remember a sign when I was going up a lift somewhere a long time ago that said, "These mountains will be as cold and lonely tonight as they were 200 years ago. Don't ski alone!"

I suppose the new school version of that would add, "But if you want to be a moron and ski in the dark anyway, more than likely you will hit all sorts of natural and man made objects. So make sure you skip the narcissistic blame everyone else thing and accept responsibility for your bone-headed actions."
