Scorpions and head injuries?

Has anyone ever scorpioned and hit the back of their head with the tail of their ski? I've come close where my tail slammed into the snow next to my head and it was terrifying. Just wondering if anyone has cut their head like this or worse. I hope not tho..

Happened to me, just bounced off my helmet. There's a reason we wear those things.

I double ejected and did a scorpion then flipped over into another scorpion. It sucked quite a bit.

Two seasons ago I got new skis and didn't dull the edges, stuck on this rail, and fell. I fell to my stomach but I was still looking over my left shoulder and I guess I relaxed my legs or something but I ended up kicking myself in the face with my tails and they cracked my lens pretty good.

My brother was wake boarding and the board smoked him the back of the head when he wiped out... I swung the boat around to pick him up and found him face down in the water, passed out, surrounded by blood.

He was okay...

It's a rare thing, but can happen for sure.

I scorpioned my face into a ski edge just skiing through some mank this year... Cut my face off pretty good.

landed switch on my pole...with the straps on... this forced me backseat going backwards into a backflip like roll...the brand new tail sliced into my back as it was glacier skiing and i had a t shirt on... 50 stitches! and a long trip down from the top of whistler, even longer cross country plane ride home with a serious wound on your back...

^cool smiley face scar doesnt hurt at all... but let me tell you all about NECK PAIN.
scorpions and head injuries will haunt you forever! i have chronic neck pains that the drs say are permanent... i do blame cliff jumping (water and POW) and whip lash from barrel rolling tumbles as well. good luck out there! bwahahahaha

Been there, left a huge mark on my helmet. So glad I had a helmet on, otherwise I would have been screwed.
