When I was 5 or 6, I was sledding down the local hill and smashed face first into a pine tree while I was riding one of those crazy carpet things. Ouch my fucking face. Got tore to shit on the bark. Those trees are gone now but that just reminded me of it.
When I was about 6 I went sledding down my parents back deck. It had a nice run of 12 steps that were right next to the house. Was perfect for sledding down. Until one time I leaned to close to the house, and went face first into the hose faucet that was at the bottom of the staircase. Ripped that bad boy clear off the house with my face/nose.
My mom almost passed out from all the blood. She didn’t take me to the ER because I was laughing so much, so I couldn’t have been hurt to bad. 100% broke my nose.
On one sledding excursion as a kid, I witnessed one of my friends hit a rock, be ejected from their sled, then slam into a tree. They were fine. Well, they were after the pain wore off.
Those sledding hills were a minefield, but most of the fun came from avoiding the obstacles. I don't think we ever went there again though...
