Replying to Worst Injury You've Witnessed Skiing
I'm probably not even gonna read the comments on this post because I hate reading about injuries to begin with, but I had to share this. Other than when I broke my collarbone bad earlier this season, I saw one of the most gruesome things on and off of a mountain ever. It was a chill day, me and my brother were taking some laps at Bromley (where we grew up skiing) after some decent snow and overall just an awesome sunny day visiting our lil home mountain. It wasn't until we decided to ski down this small access trail by first aid to take a shortcut to the lot that changed our day completely. I look over at my brother's face to see his jaw dropped and staring over to a group of medics treating someone on the snow. I glance over and saw literally one of the most horrific things ever. There was a lady on the ground SCREAMING with a ski pole THROUGH HER LEG. When I say through, I don't mean just sticking out of her leg, it went in one side of her thigh and out the other. I still get the chills just thinking about it, you woulda thought this was a scene from some D-Day movie with the amount of insanity and suffering going on. Not sure how it happened but assuming she was going like Mach 2 when she landed on and snapped her pole on her thigh or something but I wouldn't wish an injury like that on my worst enemy. Happy skiing everyone.
