“Took an insanely bad fall today, lucky to only come out of it with a bruised shoulder. That helmet definitely saved me.”

Sickening collision filmed at A-Basin as a lone skier connects with a tree a while cruising through the glades. As you can see in the video, his goggle lens actually detached on impact which lets you know how violent this was. Thankfully the skier was wearing a helmet and walked away with a bruised shoulder.
