Nearly gored by tree branch - Snowboarding Forum

Bombing through the trees, saw a fresh line through some pretty tight trees, took it, whipped around the first tree directly into a bunch of 3-4 foot long by 1-2 inch diameter hard branches aimed directly at me.

Took one in the left quad and one into my collar bone just missing my neck, broke both branches. Scared the HELL out of me. I can just picture it..."head on stick"

Dodged one there.

I just went on a job interview last week with a BIG scab on my forehead from a run in with a tree.
