Is slipping on ice and hitting your head...

[imported_goku]

as hard as hitting your head on concrete?

 

[Queasy]

From experience.....The ice hurt worse.


edit: Not that either was something I'd want to do again.

 

[pray4mojo]

depends on how you hit the concrete. suppose you slipped on ice and hit your head on concrete..

 

[stormbv]

I hate that feeling when you fall and your head hits the ground, and you immediately feel like puking.

 

[Rastus]

I've never hit my head on either one, so I don't know.

Queasy definately needs to wear a helmet.

Isn't that the sign of a concussion?

Why do you think I'm Queasy?

I hit my head on ice learning to ice skate when I was kid. I've hit my head on concrete playing basketball, doing tricks on my bike when I was kid, etc.

Ice is absolutely fascinating.

I used to figure skate and I've probably hit my head on the ice around 10 times, man that was a b!tch and my mom would always try to comfort me by saying falling on ice is better than concrete...

 

[SilentZero]

Yes

 

[Robor]

Never hit my head on ice but thought I broke my elbow or tailbone a few times. All I remember is, 'ouch, that freaking hurts'.

 

[imported_goku]

Which reminds me of when I used to skate I would skate "between couples". Meaning that if they were holding hands, I'd duck down and skate right through them..

And I'd go right between them.
Good times I guess, but the reason why this reminds me of that is because out of all the times I did it successfully, there was one time there was a really tall guy with his girl and as I was heading in, they moved together closer than I need them to be spaced and so I effectively flipped them both and they fell. I obviously apoligised and they were alright but I believe that was the last time I did it..
Man...

That explains a lot.

Hitting his head on the ice about 10 times explains the picture too.

Reminds me of this one time when one of the dudes I used to speedskate (inline) with came for an evening run totally freaked out. He was working on an ice-rink that day, teaching kids and what not.

This one lady decides to try out ice skating. Puts on the skates, gets on ice, takes a couple of steps - WHAM - falls backwards and hits her head on ice.
Everyone heard a loud crack and saw a puddle of blood leaking from under the head. :shocked: :shocked:

They call in paramedics and try to give first aid to the lady. She regains consciousness and tries to get up, stuck in a loop of "I'm ok. I'm ok". And everyone can see a crack in the skull and blood trickling out. Paramedics arrive and take her away.

Needless to say, since that evening everyone in our group never skated without a helmet any more.

i know a girl who hit her head on the ice while skating and she lost her sense of smell/taste.

friend hit the ice skating once, he went into a coma for a short while and cracked his skull. Dr's were worried about brain infection.

How tall was he? When I figure skated I believe I was at around 5'7 or so...

Edit: I realized this post made no sense, and the reason I ask is because if your really tall, I'm sure you'd crack your skull, right?
