re: wats the chances my hand will be fixed

Lesson to be learnt

NEVER BOARD ON DRY SLOPES THEY ARE VERY DANGEROUS


I dislocated 3 of my fingers the last time i rode them dry slopes

good luck with your healing.

ps the only problem you will have is your insurance,they ask questions along the line of have you got any recent injury`s,you could always say no but they will find out via medical records/doctors notes.

re: wats the chances my hand will be fixed

i had a metal plate put in my hand on 1 st jan, doctors told me defo not to go boarding in feb but i went anyway, had no cast on, just a bandage but i was fine, just took it easy. you wont be covered by your insurance tho. be brave ( or stupid) just take it easy and dont push yourself.

re: wats the chances my hand will be fixed

I broke my wrist back in September.I'm going in three weeks time and to be honest I'm worried that I'm going to be able to Ski. As it still hurst when I move my wrist certain ways.
If I was you I wouldn't be risking it.

re: wats the chances my hand will be fixed

Your bone may be fixed by the time you go but you won't be back to 'normal', your arm will be weaker for a while. Get a wrist guard, take it easy and make sure you get it insured (additional premium should be about £6).

I have a too much experience of injured skiers and insurance!

re: wats the chances my hand will be fixed

you will be fine. my mate fell off his motor bike and put a hole in his foot a week befor christmas and he is still going to try to ski in feb.
