Slide/tumble for life down Chute 75 back in February. 5 feet of fresh and I found the only ice in a hundred miles--the chut had slide down to an ice layer for a long way down.
As a result I have some experience with the urinal--the trick is to not piss yourself, especially if you use it lying down (make sure not to let the piss run back out of the bottle) and if you tend to dribble. Also, do not mistake it for a telephone as a patient of mine once did.

T3 burst, 14 rib fractures, minor acetabular fracture. Some transverse process fractures, a lower down compression fracture (might have been old). But hey, I didn't bash my brains in or break my neck, everything works that worked before. Bummer missing 1/2+ of a great ski season. I'm pretty close to being back to baseline, not that baseline is great--given my age and all. I did manage to lose a couple of inches in height.

Holy shit. That is pretty gnarly. T3 burst is no joke. You get flown out?

Woah! Saw your comments about rib Fx but had no idea about the rest. That’s not something you ski away from. Happy to hear you are coming out the other end.
A good friend of Kidwoo’s broke all transverse processes on all thoracic vertebrae- scars on his back looks like a zipper
