Prolly the worst thing that's ever happened to me, was during snowboarding about 7-8 years ago (I think).
I had been boarding for a few years and finally got the nerve to start trying jumps. I started with the little stuff first to get my bearings and after a week or so I eventually had the guts to work up to a real kicker. I eventually got the hang of it and hit it for the rest of the season, fun stuff.
near the end of the season I went to hit it, and didn't gauge my speed correctly. hit the jump wrong, too fast and flew (I think 30 ft) through the air lost my bearings and ended up flat on my back, with the wind knocked out of me so hard that I thought I was going to die from lack of oxygen. With only a high pitched AUUUUuuuuuhhh, coming from my mouth.
I laid there for what felt like 10 minutes (prolly not nearly that long), Ski patrol came by to check me out but I said I was ok (I could talk by then). I never went to the First Aid area, instead I hung out in the lodge for a bit and calmed down, hobbled over to my car, with a friend of mine, loaded it all up and drove home.
My back was sore for a solid 3 months and I never got checked for it. Now sometimes my back gets sore from time to time and especially if I am sitting in an awkward position. I stopped boarding for awhile after that and it wasn't until 3 years ago that I went again after talking to Matt about boarding. I've since swore off crazy shit and only ride down the mountain, which is plenty of fun for me.

My buddy gets stones, bi-monthly it seems. They were especially bad after Mountain Dew released the Halo 3 Gamer Fuel.

That reminds me! I actually used to snowboard quite a bit for someone who lives in OK. I went 3-4 times per season for about 6 years in a row (for about 4-5 days at a time). Might not sound like much but I got just good enough to get some "courage". My first experience with a snowboard park went something like this: Jump, land, jump, land, big jump, face first - right hand into the snow - snowboard hitting my elbow at what felt like 10,000mph - my friend's dad super glueing my gushing elbow back together (he was a doctor, so that was a small plus). I've done dumber stuff than that on a snowboard, but luckily that was my most serious injury!
