Nasty terrain park collision caught on camera at Mammoth Mountain. These kinds of accidents are avoidable if you use a spotter but anyone who rides park sees people sending jumps blind all the time. Per answers in the comment section of the Instagram post about the girl’s condition she said she was fine and asked to be sent the video but then got taken down in stretcher. Hope she is okay. Here’s how Zak Mauser described what happened:
“Neither of us are at fault!! She hit the jump and fell which is perfectly fine. I unfortunately never saw her. This is an almost worst case scenario when there isn’t a spotter on the knuckle. This video is meant to be PSA because this season I’ve seen a lot of beginners venture into the biggest parks. With no plan and not hitting any of the features correctly. Again she is not a beginner and didn’t do anything wrong but earlier this season I almost did the same thing to little kid. He was stuck on the down hill of a jump too scared to go down it. I luckily when over top of him and I took the brunt of the fall. I’m posting this video to hopefully show people how dangerous it is to be in the park especially when don’t have the correct plan or take any precautions.” –Zak Mauser
