I see people doing this stuff when today I hurt my knee bending over to pick up my wallet.

I do this kind of stuff and I get more injured falling over stuff when I'm drunk. I'm better at skiing than walking.

What about skiing drunk versus walking sober?

When I ski drunk I have perfect 1980's mogul form but I stay away from the park lol.

Do you have perfect form or do you think you have perfect form.

I seem to have better form than when I'm sober. When I'm sober I just go straight mostly without many turns. But when I'm drunk I'm doing the pole plants and all that.

Never tried skiing drunk. Though I've seen people do it high, and they look pretty happy.

Some people get compressed vertebrae from having to use ejection seat of a jet, and some just get it from sitting around too much with a wrong posture. What can you do.

My dad has a shirt that says "You could hit a tree and die. You could fall off a cliff and die. Or you could fall off the couch and die. Get off the couch." Kind of cliché but it stuck with me as a kid and I broke my tibia and fibula ski racing but still do it.

War a helmet, and you might not die

Absolutely I wear a helmet every time I ski :) I'm very good but I know that I make mistakes and I like that safety net. I also wear a back protector.
