Pros that have never been injured

What pro skiers have never had a major injury? By "major injury" I'm talking like torn knee tendons, broken legs, achilles tear, and stuff like that. I'm curious to know if there are any trends among skiers that never get hurt or if its just luck.

I remember in an interview or podcast or something he explained his process for skiing urban and how he's just insanely cautious, which is why he thinks he's never been seriously hurt.

I'm pretty sure I heard Dylan Siggers has never had a significant injury on a podcast one time. Always blew my mind with how much spinning he does.

Also I imagine this is in response to Johnny Collinsons knee injury?

I maybe so out of the loop but Jesper Tjäder and Alex Hall. Even heard both of them on Simon Dumont’s podcast and neither had a serious injury, that I can remember

Having heard this and not being able to remember where was biting at me... so I went hunting.

If you want to hear his process for urban and how to not get injured doing it, Its in this @Level1 podcast about Partly Cloudy - https://soundcloud.com/level1productions/level-20-ep-14-partly-cloudy
The bit about avoiding injury starts at ~45mins

Not a 'major' injury but one of my favorite edits/segments of all time is his Superunknown where he cased the jump like the first day got a nasty heel-bruise, then proceeded to absolutely fuck shit up on one ski. I think Keegan was the eventual winner that year?

@dylansiggers - that was gnarly and you're the man

Keegan Kilbride was talking about his experience with filming with Will for a level 1 trip and he mentioned how he would actually whip out a calculator to figure out where the landing needs to be and where.

Seems like pro and injury goes together. Phil Larose and Mikael Descheneaux are the only that retired and stayed injury free. I cant think of anyone...

I thought Sean Jordan did a solid job of not having many/any inquires. Also Clayton Vila did pretty well; in the last movie he was in he fucked up his wrist which isn't to bad. Though he did rip a part of his face off in his early days Also Andreas Hatveit is one of the most consistent and slept on skiers of all time. Don't remember him having an crazy inquires though correct me if I'm wrong on these.

Pretty sure Hatveit was competing with a torn ACL at a time. Might have been Russ henshaw though can't really remember

Jon Olsson has never broken a bone. Heard it from the horses mouth. The dude invented dubs basically and went his entire career with almost no injuries. That's wild.

"Implying he didn't really" which is why you wrote that he did. You're a fucking idiot.

It was the year Jonah Williams won in 2015. I was there to cover the event with NS and it was pretty impressive to see, he's very agile

Not sure if you would call it an injury per se. but Jossi Wells battled the bottle for years and it costed him his career. Now he is just an angry bitter dude that blames everyone he can for his diminished success as a pro skier. Just a sad dude in general that needs help.

I think Hatveit got away clean. Russ, I believe competed in Sochi with TWO blown knees. And I think Tom Wallish pushed through the whole Sochi qualifier events with a blown knee as well. Felt like half the slopestyle field was pushing surgery back till after the Olympics in order to complete.

Andreas is one of my favorite all time freestyle skiers. I feel like I remember him getting injured at some point, but I also remember him taking massive falls and being miraculously okay.

I was going to say TJ Schiller, but didn't he also blow his knee out?

What a fucked up sport we obsess over.

I assume most people just don’t know since the Risky Flips happened so early and were only shown in the Wind-Up movies.

It was definitely the first modern double cork. And knowing Rick a little bit personally, I can say he is a true G.

TJ had some gnarly knee injuries. When he was the guest on dumonts podcast he goes into detail
