The Leg
I had never snowboarded until Junior year of High School and I had never broken a bone until Freshmen year of college.
I was known for being weirdly invincible - able to send off anything without serious injury. I had never even needed to go the hospital.
I was a cold, windy day at breck. My family took the easy trail down, but not my sister and i. We took the under-the-lift, under-the-ropes, wooded trail. This led to a tree on either side and another fallen in front of me. With little decision making time, i swung a tree and ducked another... an hour later i was in the hospital.
The leg breaks in many ways, usually the top of a tibia doesn't completely shatter from a fall, but in my case it did - along with a torn meniscus (still torn today)
