100 days of value challenge - Day 44: Watch where you're going, you might hurt someone

Day 44 - 100 days of value challenge!

Watch where you're going 😂

Back in January when we were in Chamonix, I had this bad accident on the first day I think.

I was snowboarding down the slopes, and I got some speed going. I always do my best to be aware of my surroundings when I start gaining speed because I'm a grown ass man and no one deserves to get crashed into with that kind of force 😅

So when rounding a corner, I see this woman in a pink jacket being off-piste just cruising down on the side of the mountain and I think to myself "OK, good. Some distance, she's safe up there" and I look forward again. Less then a second passes and I see a flash of pink in front of me, it's the lady that decides to get in and cross the slopes...

With no time to react or prevent it I slammed into her with full force, she getting knocked down and me flipping over her and landing right behind her.

Don't Forget: Get Travel Health Insurance!

To make your trip a worry-free experience, TravelFeed recommends SafetyWing Nomad Insurance. It provides comprehensive health coverage while you travel, so you can focus on exploring, not the unexpected. Get a quote here

And she didn't move. Her husband and their son rushed to help me help her, and it turned out she was in her fifties and I knocked her out cold.. Not remembering what happened was a clear sign that there had to be a concussion involved (luckily we wore helmets).

After some terrifying minutes where I really thought I had hurt the lady, we all parted ways as friends and I think we both made sure to look twice before crossing anything for the remainder of the trip 😂

Moral of the story is that I have a tendency of getting myself into these situations 🤔 Don't quite know why..

And life pro tip of the day? When you're snowboarding, don't use grown ladies to break your fall. That's not cool
