“How would you have prevented this accident?” the ski patrol guy asked.

“Um…” I said surprised by the question. “Not fall?”

Painful injury on my first, only, and last run at 7 springs. Ski patrol advised me against going back up. I have skiied or snowboarded at least once year since I was 5 and this was the first time that I was injured that I had to sit out for the rest of the day. The ski patrol gave my right hand a splint made out of cardboard and I sat ridiculously in the lodge until people decided to leave. I chatted with robotics, lti, and the little of hci that went.

Can’t write. Can’t sign. Can’t eat. Who knew that this world wasn’t made for one-handed people?

At least now I have a reason for not bowling!

  1. An important thing not to do when falling during skiing/snowboarding is using your hand to stop your fall. :/
