Skiing and snowboarding are fun. Those of you who’ve been doing it long enough know shit can go wrong in a heartbeat no matter what expert level you think you are.

Today a woman faceplanted hard and was knocked unconscious. Fortunately someone saw it and acted quickly, directed ski patrol and called in a helicopter medevac.

I’ve just heard the woman is in hospital and still unconscious.

Damn, stay safe out there…

Oh no! :( sorry to hear. It’s definitely not without its risks…thinking of introducing the little one to skiing this year but always nervous

I think it’s much like driving. Accidents happen and there are many ways to prevent serious injuries. Proper gear, knowing your limits and paying attention to surroundings is a good start. I think the little man will do fine🙂 he’s a smart kid.

Thank you! We’re gonna start with lessons together! I haven’t skied in many years. And I think I’m too old to get back into snowboarding lol

Good luck but more importantly, have fun!!! 🤩

Haha thank you!

Jeeeeez. Hopefully not a Michael Schumacher level of injury🙏🏻.

I hope so, too.

dang. icy conditions? what did she smack her head on i wonder

Not exactly sure how and what happened but I was told that she did not have headgear on or near hear when ski patrol got to her. The ski patroller is a friend.

i knocked myself out once. trying to look cool in front of girls. it didn’t work.

I can’t decide whether to laugh or be sorry but I’m glad you’re here. 😄🫂

I once fell snow boarding and was sure my anus got torn open. Spoiler rectal integrity maintained. But, I was scared.

😄 I’m glad you’re here, too. What’s left of you and that holey shoe.

It's a lucky shoe

Thank you for sharing this video. It was a needed laugh this morning. And, can I say, having lost my seminal vesicles vas deferens and in fact the entirety of my left nut to cancer, the redundancy supplied to us by God and nature is a miracle and notwithstanding the orchiectomy required by the cancerous incursion, ol' righty still managed to produce my child.

Hope she’s ok
