My first injury was on about my 3rd or 4th time out. I was nearly down the hill when I noticed this 7-10 year old girl plopped down not quite at the base. Already heading straight for her and still being quite new and not very good, I just tried to stop as soon as I could. So here I am, flying down the bottom of the hill trying to stop toeside and looking over my shoulder to see the kid. After about 15 yards I've slowed down considerably and think everything is going to be fine. But of course I had to catch some edge...So I go flying into the air, do a flip, and land on my head on the other side of this girl. Ii layed there for 2 or 3 minutes recollecting myself and then got back in line for the lift

My second and most serious injury occurred getting off the lift. This was my 5th or 6th time out and I was giving blacks a shot (not saying much at the place we go to) but I was only a mid blue. Anyways there was three of us on the lift and we get to the top and start sliding away. None of us were pros at getting of the lift but I expected more from the people I was with. The skier in the middle started losing his balance, so he grabbed my back to regain it. Well needless to say it through me off balance and I started to fall. But oh no, I can't fall because his fucking skis were ontop of my board. My body was going down and my legs couldn't follow. So I knew it wasn't going to end well. As I was going down I felt a popping sensation (in and out). I knew my knee was messed up so I didn't even bother trying to get up. I told the guy who put me in the situation to tell the lift operator. In a for minutes the patrol was up there and loading me in to thing. Riding down a hill laying down backwards and scary as shit. 2 weeks later I was back and getting air. Sucks though because no that knee still has issues. (It was diagnosed a MCl strain btw)
How do you fall?
