    Oh. Dear. God…that is horrible. I’m now experiencing phantom pains in my shoulder after watching that.

    On a side note, I heard through the grapevine that you went to College of Charleston! I did too!! Love your blog!

    Hope Adam recovers soon! Looks like a pretty brutal accident but at least it occurred during the pursuit of something worthwhile.
    And I admire how you always make the most out of every situation, for example, making a cool video to share to people rather than complaining or being overly sad.

    Wow…and ow! That sucks that he got so badly hurt but at least he has video proof of the biff – bragging rights when he is all healed up! Hope he gets better quickly!

    And if I may ask – exactly what ski resort is this at? I can definitely see why he was staring off…absolutely beautiful scenery!

    Fantastic video. Though, yikes, scary/extremely painful looking results. Reminds me of some totally insane/fun things have done on the slopes. Hope Adam has a great ortho/sports medicine doc to help speed healing . Sending prayers.

    Oh my! As horrific as this accident was and how much pain Adam is surely suffering at the moment, thank God he survived with “only”some repairable injuries; clearly, his good humor and fierce artisitc skills are fully in tact…a powerful PSA video for certain!

    God speed, Adam!!!

    p.s. When the dr. suggests physical therapy to rehab that shoulder…obey! Those of us who thought we knew better are (years later) sorry for that decision.

    I’ve got multiple shoulder issues, so I definitely feel his pain. Feel better soon!

    Sitting here with my hand-to-shoulder cast, three screws added to my elbow and a week out of surgery, I can say that I reallyreally appreciate this video 😛 I fell victim to ice skating. The irony is that I wore knee pads but left the elbow pads at home.

    Hope Adam is recovering okay and not in too much pain! Having someone around to support and care for you as you come out of it is the best thing 🙂

      Oh gosh – sports are dangerous aren’t they! I used to see so many clients that broke their wrists or hips for falling while skating.

      It actually scares me off from doing any of it myself – because I am Klutz 101. More 🙁 than ;).

    February 20, 2011 at 6:51 am

    ow ow ow ow ow….ow! Totally brings back memories of me breaking my wrist if 4 places last season. I hope he’s okay. Think he’ll ski again? I’ve sworn off going anywhere near the mountains. Too much pain, can’t handle that again!

    Priceless. Though, it is a little hard to watch when you’re just anticipating a trip to the ER at the end 😉 Knowing he’s being served double grilled cheese sandwiches makes it a little better…

  • Maggie

    Eek, that looks awful, hopefully he’ll heal quickly.

    I love pictures of x-rays though. And the total disconnectedness and then the bolt look really cool. But awful…

    February 20, 2011 at 7:08 am

    Yikes! I didn’t know that a dislocated shoulder looked like that! That’s a rough fall.
    Love the music to this video. Watching it kind of reminded me of the time I almost broke my boyfriends nose hopping off the ski lift! Of course, we tell the story and laugh NOW but at the time, the blood was nothing to laugh about! 😀

    Poor thing! My dad always used to video tape us skiing growing up and we have more than one video of the camera flipping around in the snow when he fell – fortunately he was never injured. I have to say though – it looked like a gorgeous ski day, and as much as I hate to say I’m jealous when it ended so poorly, I wish I’d been skiing there!

    Boys. Why do they insist on doing silly things like making videos as they ski?

    Really glad he came through the surgery okay. Heck! I’m glad he made it off the mountain!

  • Amanda
    February 21, 2011 at 10:53 am

    Boys. Did he ever hit hard! Although I think its adorable that he requested cake in the ambulance and dictates a menu for his recovery. What a sweet girlfriend you are Jenna!

    I don’t think you intended for me to want to take up snowboarding after watching that video…. but yeah. I totally want to try snowboarding.

    I can’t believe no one has said this but – was that you in the light pants/dark top boarding? If so, you look really good for having just started learning! I’m impressed.

    Also… Tahoe is where I also dislocated my shoulder skiing resulting in a surgery. Altho his looks like a separation. Ouch.
