Post Pics of your Carnage Thread

[watersnowdirt]

who was it that basically hiked out 2 miles out of the BC holding his intestines? I can't recall, but that story was one of the nastiest ever.

I will never be a maggette this thread proves it. Not only am I not cool enough I'm not down for this much gore. Almost tossed my cookies a few times.

Snowdreamer- loving gore and carnage is not necessarily required to be a maggette And if you about tossed your cookies at K-Stormchaser's finger pic, you're most definitely not the only one!

Love the pics everyone! Keep it going on! Good story too bcrider... made me cringe!

[Dug]

your ass looks like a bowling ball

HAHAHA!

Anyway, does it have to be our own carnage?

This link was posted here before but I still think it trumps anything I've ever seen.

According to the story, western diamonback rattlesnake. Kid was 13. Lucky.

[mtnbikerskierchick]

Holy ! I can't believe anybody could get that cut up by a rattle snake!!!! So much skin missing! I've never seen anything like that in my life!

[Dug]

well he got bit in the hand and then his arm swelled up so they had to slice his arm open to relieve the pressure. It's all in the story.

I find that kind of stuff fascinating.

I found the fact that the muscles were basically totally exposed absolutely fascinating!

I don't know if that hospital carried antivenom, but it's turns out, so many hospitals don't, even when they are surrounded by rattlesnake country. I don't get it....

[shmerham]

Wow, the ass shots, I mean, like wow. Those trump my ass injury. I broke my tailbone. The bruise was not large in diameter, but it was so dark, it looked like I had a second asshole.

The pics below represent the worst 3 weeks of my life. I got poison ivy while canoe camping. It was so bad I had to get a handicap placard because walking 50 feet was nearly beyond my capability. The itchyness wasn't really that bad, it was the general discomfort. It never really spread above my ankles though, so I was never prescribed steroids.

My alien baby


This was pretty uncomfortable


This is the worst part. If you notice, my two middle toes are so swollen, that they're a few inches apart. It felt like someone was blowing a balloon up underneath my skin

Dudeleskibum.

Wasn't it the dude that dudele was with? Gorillo, maybe?

Here's my rerun:

[bklyn]

this one hurt...skiing Tuckerman Ravine Snowpatch in July 2005....hit rock....ass first.

Did you tell anyone to "kiss my black ass" while you had that bruise?

[Blurred]

Did you tell anyone to "kiss my black ass" while you had that bruise?

That would be a racist joke. We can't condone that here.

[MeatPuppet]

Did you tell anyone to "kiss my black ass" while you had that bruise?

I would guess no. Because he would have to say "kiss my black half-ass" and that just doesn't come out the same.

[Tri-Ungulate]

Did you tell anyone to "kiss my black ass" while you had that bruise?

You a basehead fan, trayc?

All's I got is my avatar...and most of yall know that story. And even though I had to have like 6 units of blood pumped into me, there was no real gore with that one so even though I almost died it still doesn't look as gnar as the ass or the finger.

I took some pics of my broken nose in the ER a couple weeks ago, but aside from having a big red shnozz, it's just not that impressive.

p.s. this is a great thread

p.p.s. Altachic your rotor burn is awesome. I finally got one of my own last summer, but it's not as cool/defined as yours. Enjoy!

What story? Care to share with those not in the know?

What story? Care to share with those not in the know?

Sure. I hit a tree at Schweitzer goin' mach looney. Skiing some nice open trees, saw my pals (including fiancee) standing at the bottom in an open meadow and opened it up and just let it run for the (supposedly) smooth runout. Hit a compression (or cattrack) I didn't see (flat light), which then launched me about 40-50 feet down the hill, then I hip-checked a tree about 6 feet off the ground. Shattered my pelvis, acetabulum (hip joint/socket), snapped my femur, and popped my bladder. No bueno. After the heli-evac, I had one surgery to fix my bladder and femur in Spokane, then they life-flighted me to SLC where they fixed my pelvis a few days later. It was sketch to say the least.

The Maggots were really there for me on that one - there was a huge thread on it at Powder (this was before the move to TGR), and I easily received 100+ get-well cards at the hospital (I think the nurses were a bit confused) plus lots of other cool gifts and visits. It was cool. I've still got the old thread printed out, but it's lost to the electronic vacuum out there. Somehow they knew exactly what happened - amazing what a network we have here.

A quick sampling from the thread, Samwich was the original reporter (March 11, 2003) (it happened March 7):
"One of my dad's friends was skiing Schweitzer this weekend, and he said that the Powder Mag Online Editor hit a tree at 40+ mph. He is badly banged up, but still alive. That is all I know. Is that KevinDineen or Particle? Whoever it is...get better soon!@ I think I speak for all of us when I say that the maggots are behind out.

Splat then clarified the same day: "This is true. Particle whacked a tree, some patrol buds at Schweitzer told me. I called the hospital in Spokane to see if there was anything us maggots nearby could do, but he had been transferred to SLC. phUnk's been following up on this..."

then Samwich got even more info (how does the network come up with accurate info time and again???):
"He has a fractured pelvis, a fractured femur, and a ruptured bladder. He's gonna make it, barring infection or other things that could go wrong. Josh and company were skinig the headwall. Josh took it in huge, arcing 40+m turns...but failed to see the cattrack. He hit it about ten feet away from the group of people, and launched off of it right into a huge, 1+ foot diameter tree. He caught in on his hip and leg. Just to put that in perspective, a christmas tree-sized tree stronger than your femur. He fell into the tree, and started shouting. He thought he was dying. When the first 4 or 5 ski patrol arrived, they had nothing. Not even a shovel to dig him out of the tree well with. They radioed to base to get some equipment up there. A snowmobile came up with some shitty med-kit that contained things used to treat the minor wounds ski patrol are used to dealing with. Luckily a guy he met on a chairlift was there, and he happened to be a doctor. He was able to set up an IV. After an hour doing God knows what, the patrol got Josh out of the tree well (to their credit, a very tricky situation...how do you move someone in that state? Even if they are in a tree well?). They put him on a backboard and heli-evaced him to Spokane. He was then transferred to Utah.

Apparently, had he hit the tree any other way, he would be dead. Your guardian angel was with you there Josh...pull through man!"

This was just a tiny representation of a huge thread. This place is there for its fallen members, no doubt. Just a few of the names in support are still around, including: jibij, arty, MT, bagtagley, professor, lemon boy, lanemeyer, ted stryker, tyrone shoelaces, DINM?, raddam, SLCFreshies, splat, 13, kb1dqh, djsapp, bn, mtbakerskier, akpm, ulty, badroo, dexter, re, xover, truth, wild/mildbill, board, the altagirls, basically the entire utah crew, and many many many more.


OK I might've gone off on that a bit too long but hell just wanted to tell everyone who's relatively new here what a kickass place this is.

P.S. My avatar is the x-ray of my bolted-together hip. The rod on the left is my femur rod, the row of screws is holding my hip joint together.

[Dug]

Damn... I have this CSI-style visual of a hip socket exploding. Glad you had so much support and I'm glad you're making turns again.

[Rasputin]

Let me guess, you were in Butte on St. Patrick's Day.

damn! never a good time to look at pics like that, but first thing in the am! i never knew a snake bite could require so much repair - assuming one survives.

[Tuckerman]

From running the last few weeks

[baseWeldr]

a thread I hope to never contribute to with my own carnage
gnarly missing skin snakebite blackass fuctup scars 'n hardware motherfuckers with ivy and burns with guts hangin out...

I remember reading those chilling posts from particle's crunch- forgot how close you came brotha

[lemon boy]

actually the most enduring lesson from particle's explosion was:

Drain your bladder frequently b/c in the words of the ER doc...."it popped like a water ballon"
