Yeah, if you ever watch home videos of skiing you'll see a load of nasty accidents. Just be careful and you should be okay.

A friend of mine also broke his leg a while back when he was learning to ski. Needless to say he's stayed away from the slopes. It'll take him a while to ease him back in...

Sounds nasty Opie - how did he manage to do that?

Knowing some begineers they either fell on it wrong, ran into something, or where going really fast and hit something and fell on it wrong.

So I ski on over, only to find him lying there as if he is passed out. I ask him if he is ok, and he tells me he is. So I help him up, and we both see that his leg is bending in completely the wrong position (quite disgusting if you ask me), and he toppled over again. This was when I knew it was time to get help and luckily some random person stopped by and asked if we needed any. Thinking it best to stay with my best friend for support, I told the nice guy to go get some help, to which he did. We were taken to a hospital (I was thankfully allowed to ride in the back) where my best friend had 2 metal plates grafted onto his bones - it was a clean break, but a large one.

I haven't been skiing since :blink:

KEEP SKIING!!!!
