As a 64-season volunteer ski patroller, I can feel the leg pain of the patroller at the lead position of the toboggan. He's working very hard controlling the toboggan's speed with a snowplow, chain brake, and sideslip and pulling it on flatter slopes. He's also alert for skiers/snowboarders descending on them who can endanger everyone. An empty Cascade toboggan weighs 52 pounds; plus the victim, skis, etc. and you're sweating by the time you reach the aid room. You want to remove your helmet and unzip your parka to cool off but your first priority is the victim. Well done.

He doesn't have the brain or his ego is too big to ski responsibly. He obviously doesn't know his capability or limits. He sounds like an air head too. I wouldn't encourage him to continue, skiing isn't for everyone.
My family was driving down to skii on a big mountain when I was a kid, but as we were going past everyone we saw someone being taken away on the back of a snowmobile stretcher. My mum just decided to turn around and we didn't get to skii I'll never forgive her for that 😭😭
First time I went snowboarding we saw at least 3 ambulances come and go on our walk there alone. Countless nosebleeds and folks eating it on the way down too
I've gone off that exact rock many many times. It's honestly one where it's better to roll off of. I've never stuck that landing sending it and I've never seen others stick it sending either. Any more speed and you'd hit a deceptively flat landing and drive your knees through your goggles. I wouldn't judge someone from a video ... although it is funny how fast he panicked lol.
One time i was on a waterslide and almost broke my nose. And while it was bleeding like.. alot- i kept saying "SORRY-" over and over 😅 Ig its just some people's first instinct to do that 🤷♀️
@@davidkennedy3050 to be fair, unless head, neck, or back pain is present, or they state that they have an inability to feel or move something, I don't think checking CMS is indicated outside of the broken leg. He can clearly move it and feel pain in it, and the ski boots aren't coming off at the top of a mountain to check distal pulse and sensation in the foot unless otherwise indicated by something else, at least in my amateur opinion. Something to do when you can actually do something about the leg, and until then, just book it down to where you can get it into a proper splint.
@@CitarNosis317That is crazy, as an American that just seems impossible. But apparently not if that is the rest of the world's normal! Crazy how we can have so much debt, but poor care for people
I know the pain when you break a bone or sprain. The pain is unbearable. Glad those ski patrols guys were there to respond. Wishing you a full recovery.
as a New Zealander it is really interesting, very alien, and almost south park like to see the rescue teams communication about certain rules and legality about asking if its ok to help, and then also outright talking about medical insurance and cost etc, especially while he's still laying in the snow with a broken leg ( unconfirmed at the time obviously) very odd but wow thanks for posting
Yeah as an australian this is weird.... Him saying he wanted to drive down as well, just blew my mind I wouldn't even be thinking that. Granted in Australia ski patrol would come down with a green whistle and give you that for the splinting, transfer and toboggan down the mountain. An ambulance would already be on the way, they wouldn't ask you. (Snow fields usually have some type of ambulance service on site in the first place) This is so alien, so sad too. edit: just finished reading the description, and found out that the wife drove up and then drove him down because he didn't want to pay for an ambulance. Damn man.
Yeah, it feels so callous seeing this from the perspective of an Australian. I broke my ankle funnily enough about a month after the video poster said he did (though I was roller skating, not skiing). The ambulance arrived and they pretty much immediately green-whistled me (in order to get the boot off), and took me straight to hospital. I didn't have to pay for the surgery several days after (plates, screws, a band around my bones to support my damaged ligaments) or the follow-up appointments including xrays, nor the four physiotherapy appointments through the hospital. I am eternally grateful that I didn't feel I had to compromise my health or endure excess pain simply because I couldn't afford it! This video drove home to me how vulnerable it would feel to be given kind of subpar care due to your financial status. 😢 Edit: I am about 98% back to normal, nowadays. I credit the physiotherapy for a large amount of that.
I felt bad every single time he apologized. There's literally no reason to apologize when you're in that much pain. I think he did a really good job managing it, actually.
@@ethansteen8880dude lmao cold just brings swelling down a bit. Absolutely nothing is going to aide a broken bone just because it’s cold out (he’s wearing snow pants), especially not a TIB FIB dude
@@The_ArchivistsI broke my arm leaving school one time and my nurse told me the same thing. What also helps is pinching your skin somewhere else so your mind can (try) to focus on the pain of pinching your skin instead of did your broken bone. Of course, it doesn’t remove the pain very well, but it’s way better than nothing.
Having just returned from Aspen, where I had a bad fall and was taken down by ski patrol, I was struck by how much of the discussion centred on my insurance and what it would cover. It felt strange at the time, but I now realise this is fairly standard practice. In Australia, it’s quite different-insurance isn’t typically discussed because all Australians and visitors are covered. Plus, an ambulance would likely have already been called and on standby. Big thanks to all the amazing ski patrollers out there-they do incredible work! The two who helped me were fantastic and reminded me of these legends.
As a Canadian I was thinking the same thing, this turned into a 20 minute insurance ad essentially. In Canada like you said, ambulance would’ve been on the way and you’dve been taken straight to emergency/hospital
Yeah we got a lot of non-citizens who are currently overloading the system, and funding isn’t increasing as fast. We also have whole cities of welfare goblins But actually the more I think about it the more I think it would actually be illegal here to do things the way you are describing. There is a law that doesn’t allow services to be provided if they are not provided by Medicare if the company involved is owned by a company that takes any Medicare patients at any of there companies. Same thing regarding what you charge for services. Forcing someone in the mountains to pay New York City prices to have services. There’s a lot of laws like that and this feels like a situation where something like that would apply among other things. What I’m saying the the laws on this stuff are weird here. Nobody talks about it but it’s a huge problem. There’s a reason one doctor here will have 5 techs working for him (and theyll only do legal paperwork-no touching patients). There was once an organically developed medical system that worked well here, but a whole encyclopedia set could be written on all the ways it’s been wrecked. Don’t let people tell you we don’t get free healthcare here btw-we do. You just get it from the county, not the state. My program is called JPS Connect I think. Tarrant County TX.
I shattered my tibia plateau skiing at my local hill, Beech Mountain, NC. After patrol assessed my break and felt the crepitus he radioed to roll EMS. They were waiting for me at the bottom. No one asked about insurance or anything.
Dave the only asian in a 10 mile radius gets talkin to like shit... or thats just his boss and their relationship. Still kinda hostile but lets give him the benefit of the doubt. Who knows maybe Dave did him dirty 🤷♂
When you have someone in distress, you listen to the party that's most in control of the situation. Two people talking at once gets everybody nowhere fast.
I agree, making noise through pain is REALLY comforting. I’m not taking screaming as if you are dying but that slow release of air does help with pain.
@Bspadz Breaking my femur is the absolute worst thing I've ever felt by orders of magnitude... Except for breaking my pelvis. Which was significantly worse, neither of them were even in the same universe of pain compared to breaking my hand or arm. Even still the pain was mostly manageable but there were occasional spurts where it would hurt really really bad for a few minutes, think like 10x as bad as a charlie horse is the best description I have. After a week or so most of the severe pain was gone.
Man, those ski patrol guys are CHAMPIONS! Communication perfectly both to each other and yourself, using humor to defuse the situation while not at your expense and being extremely thorough in both their actions and explanations. Society runs due to these kinds of people. Glad to hear you're doing better and are back out there skiiing!
wow! those xrays tell you everything about that fall! your a trooper dude took it like a champ! hope you aren't having leg pain still! prayers out to you man!
@rosie7346 Sure, but I rarely if ever, see people being given analgesia in the field. Just tough it out until you get into the ambulance or the hospital.
@nine9nine9 🤷♀️ I just noticed from watching paramedic shows from America and Britain that it doesn't seem to be down half as much here as there. Why? Maybe because of the expense of the drugs and the training qualifications needed to administer the drugs. That will vary depending on where you are in the states. Large cities probably have a lot more Advanced medical service (ams) while other will only have emergency medical service (ems).
Damn as someone whos only had a hairline fracture in my wrist, those xrays at the end looked nightmarish to me. Huge props to you for not screaming your head off throughout this whole video 🫡
For this mission we need Marshel! Use your medical equipment to tend to the skier And Everest! We need you to help tra sport marshel and the skier as marshels ambulance cant travel in the snow
This happened to me too; although I did not break the fibula, only the tibia. It is an indescribable pain. I knew instantly it was a break. Glad you recovered.
Dude that was brutal, hope your doing okay now. Dude watching this in germany, the insurance stuff is actually insane to me. I´m so thankful for what we have here
My dad was on National Ski Patrol for 50 years before he "retired". He has seen minor accidents and some pretty horrible accidents. Whenever the patrol would have a refresher training course my brothet and I got to be accident victims! I also learned to ski when I was 4 yrs old.
it’s interesting you kept saying sorry after screaming(groaning) in pain. I felt the same way when i injured my back, i felt guilty for screaming around the doctors. I wonder why we feel that way when we are injured. I guess it’s the inconvenience we perceive to have caused. That just feels silly though.
I guess part of it is probably that making noises like that isn't something we generally do in public, but they're kind of involuntary when you're injured, so you can't help it. So when you do it, your first response is then to apologise. I imagine children probably don't apologise for making noises when hurt, so it's likely a learned behavior!
For me, (fucked myself up at the gym and there were people around as paramedics got me out) I was lowkey worried I'd traumatize someone 😅 Hearing someone scream in pain is distressing, but it's worse for the person hurting to hold it in, so what can ya do
@@DarkkestNitedon’t worry dude, I was in primary school and I ran into the sharp end of a gate really fast. Knocked out for a minute or 2 and just started wailing after processing what happened. (Mind you everyone in the court was huddled around me) came back a week later and everyone was fine
I once nearly broke my back when I fell from my bunk bed and was temporarily disable for almost a month but before that I crashed while riding on the road . Drove straight in to a construction site bending my wrist and having 12 fractures in my right leg but now I am fine To be honest I also feel kinda bad when I groan in front of the doctor or paramadics
It doesn’t work like that. 😅 Getting off the mountain and the immediate treatment down at Ski Patrol is free. It’s the clinic that’s not free. He chose to get himself to the hospital in case he wasn’t covered. Personally, I would prefer the hospital anyway (since it is just the leg).
I've broken my leg skiing, Was going down a hill in Canada, Fell once, Left ski never came off. Went back down. There was a person infront of me who had fallen on a more tight part of the hill, I fell purposely not to hit them. I fell hard and did a barrel roll where my right ski didn't come off. Ended up with an spiral break and a hairline fracture in my tibia. Ski patrol didn't believe me when I said I felt the bones scraping. was forced onto the back of the Skadoo, even when they had a sled on the back. Driving up the hill and forced to go through the common entrence instead of the employee entrance next to us. Was forced to walk the entire way from the skadoo, around through the cafeteria and into the ski shop. They gave me a blanked and ice pack. They refused to splint my leg and took the boot off of me. I tried sitting normally but that didn't work due to the pain. So I lied down and the Teacher with us that day had to call my parents because the ski hill refused. The ski patroller ended up getting fired and being barred from becoming one in my province again. It was a pretty bad day..
I declare b.s. also this video…staged. It’s amazing for the public to know we exist..and this is our job. But there is no way you had a spiral fracture and they put you on a skidoo. Nice try.
US citizen living in Europe for 24 years and I find it ridiculous that they worry more about insurance than a person’s health. Pathetic. “Your insurance is not in our network, so you can leave now.”
@@antoniobranderas they aren't denying care. If they bill him for the care it will be really expensive vs using his insurance. He is stable enough to make an informed decision and they are allowing him to do that.
Genuinely horrific. If I was injured last thing I would want to worry about is 'how much is this going to cost me?!' As a Brit I find it laughable that the vast majority of yanks saw Obamacare as a bad thing. Could have had free healthcare like the rest of us. One thing the UK has got right is our incredible NHS. (Who do need more funding and praise).
@@CraigSteele12lol what? We *passed* obamacare, it made our shitty system less shitty, but making a system like the NHS is incredibly ambitious in the current US political climate. The insurance companies have a HUGE lobby

Awesome to see the whole process of it all but its mind-blowing, as a swede to see u guys talking about health insurance when you're in that state! Hope it healed well.
@@triggered3107 Yes, i’m skiing again and the leg is 99% back. Ya health insurance is always on my mind. I didn’t take an ambulance because of that haha.
@@TravisHi_YT most of us do have insurance. With ambulance “coverage”. That does not mean “covered”. In fact could be thousands of dollars. And exempt from out of pocket max. Yeah I’ll take an Uber instead please.
@@ZePopTart To the rest of the world that's ridiculous, you should be able to take an ambulance without having to worry if your insurance will pay, or if you can afford it. As a Brit it's just wild! I've called a few ambulances in my time (only one for me, so far), it didn't cost a single penny, I didn't have to think or worry about money at all just my/the other people's health. USA is mad
@@TravisHi_YT Ambulance rides can be super expensive even if you have insurance; I've declined them before as well in favor of having someone drive me, despite never having been uninsured.
I’ve never seen ski patrol bring someone back before, they’re wicked because moving in snow is difficult and hauling a whole grown person back with you can’t be easy even with the assist from sliding snow and the skis. Glad you’re recovering man
Hey I did this once. Absolutely destroyed my shoulder, and I went into shock almost right away. Love the dudes who got me off the hill and did they're best to keep me laughing.
Hey Bryce, As a fellow leg breaker I was really happy to see someone post a full incident. Most folks never get to see it. I found my own experience to be rather similar in certain ways, most strikingly I kept saying sorry to my rescuers like you did. It's scary and not scary at the same time as you focus on getting to the next step. Also I can confirm that the pain is much worse after fentanyl, but I could also argue the adrenaline has worn off by that point. Either way you're not alone in screaming in pain. I'm glad to hear you were back to sport fairly quickly, getting back to 98% you were blessed with quick recovery. PT all day every day. Cheers mate!
Hey Bryce I am also a fellow leg breaker and I know it sounds selfish, but it was nice to see things from another persons perspective and that I handled it similarly ❤
went from “woo, yeah!” to “arrrrggggghhhhhaaaa i need ski patrol” real quick, hope you have a speedy recovery and are back out there having fun again bro
It really warmed my heart to see how you remained so nice and respectful even in such pain! I’m sorry that you had to go through that pain :(. I find it amazing how nice both you and the rescue team was :) Huge props to you!
I hope your leg is on the mend and/or healed! So sorry for this injury to you. You were having a lot of fun before that jump. Hope your able to go back out and ski soon!
Cheeesshhhh, i saw the break and i tought, like respect for the guy, i would've been screaming every inch of that room full and passing out and stuff sheesh, respect dude, you handled that so well, btw i love youre video's keep it up like that and you'lle be famous, i hope you get better soon, so you can be up skiing again
I love ski patrol. Feel totally safe with these fit, competent guys going Mach 7 in a sled towed by skis while my body is completely destroyed. They listen so much better than surgeons and understand the wild spirit of skiers. I'm completely calm with them. So grateful for ski patrol.
Those of you from other countries commenting about insurance discussions in the midst of a medical emergency: brothers and sisters, you don't know the half of it 🤯 There are thousands of for-profit health insurance companies in the US, and each of those companies have thousands of different plans. And they all do their level best to deny payment for medical care.
@@bluetickbeagles116Canada,Uk and France are capitalist countries but still have universal healthcare. There really isn’t an excuse for poor healthcare in one of the “richest” countries in the world.
I love rescuers. They're so awesome. That guy was so gentle. I was expecting way more screaming getting the splint on. Excellent. Also kudos to the patient for trying to make it easier on them. 😊
It's really cool seing everything lol, before disaster, during, and the after (the description) Yeah man, reading the description, that must have been a painful rideeee. Even with the Fentanyl and all, if the damage is really bad, then you'll still feel the pain. Kinda sucks but hey, i guess no drug is strong enough sadly. I'm glad you recovered though!
Thanks for leaving your go pro rolling man. It was cool to watch all the first responders doing their thing. I bet it was nice to have that footage later and play back what people said to you while you were in pain
These patrols seems so relaxing, i had a French team of paramedics that helped me get of the moutntain while dislocating my underleg from my knee, I appreciate all the work these guys and woman are doing keep us of the mountain in such a way it’s like a five star medical crew.
I'm a critical care paramedic who skis and serves in an area with 2 ski resorts so I have respect for ski patrol, it's interesting seeing them staying in their scope of practice which is probably extremely small as I'm assuming they're at the EMR scope and not the EMT or AEMT scope
Man what a hell of a place to break it . Down in your boot man how lol? I hope you heal up well man ! That patrol was a good one. He's good at his job.

missed CMS, textbook fail.
@@davidkennedy3050 to be fair, unless head, neck, or back pain is present, or they state that they have an inability to feel or move something, I don't think checking CMS is indicated outside of the broken leg. He can clearly move it and feel pain in it, and the ski boots aren't coming off at the top of a mountain to check distal pulse and sensation in the foot unless otherwise indicated by something else, at least in my amateur opinion. Something to do when you can actually do something about the leg, and until then, just book it down to where you can get it into a proper splint.
No PPE when checking injury site for blood. Automatic failure.
Completely skipped primary assessment, another injury could’ve been masked by the pain and no check was done to find it
ski patrol handled this like super pros

Dude you're so kind and thankful. I don't see people like these a lot - being so nice through that much pain . That's a big respect.
Only in America can the phrase, "I will call an Ambulance", be used as a threat
Hands where I can see them, or the ambulance comes for your money

@@CitarNosis317That is crazy, as an American that just seems impossible. But apparently not if that is the rest of the world's normal! Crazy how we can have so much debt, but poor care for people
I am quite impressed with the main guy talking during the rescue. Seems like a smart and caring guy who likes his job.
Definitely not his first rescue
the way he kept reassuring him whenever he would apologize for screaming 🥹
I know the pain when you break a bone or sprain. The pain is unbearable. Glad those ski patrols guys were there to respond. Wishing you a full recovery.
as a New Zealander it is really interesting, very alien, and almost south park like to see the rescue teams communication about certain rules and legality about asking if its ok to help, and then also outright talking about medical insurance and cost etc, especially while he's still laying in the snow with a broken leg ( unconfirmed at the time obviously) very odd but wow thanks for posting
yeah unbelievable
America is a third world country
Yeah as an australian this is weird.... Him saying he wanted to drive down as well, just blew my mind I wouldn't even be thinking that. Granted in Australia ski patrol would come down with a green whistle and give you that for the splinting, transfer and toboggan down the mountain. An ambulance would already be on the way, they wouldn't ask you. (Snow fields usually have some type of ambulance service on site in the first place)
This is so alien, so sad too.
edit: just finished reading the description, and found out that the wife drove up and then drove him down because he didn't want to pay for an ambulance. Damn man.
Yeah, it feels so callous seeing this from the perspective of an Australian. I broke my ankle funnily enough about a month after the video poster said he did (though I was roller skating, not skiing). The ambulance arrived and they pretty much immediately green-whistled me (in order to get the boot off), and took me straight to hospital. I didn't have to pay for the surgery several days after (plates, screws, a band around my bones to support my damaged ligaments) or the follow-up appointments including xrays, nor the four physiotherapy appointments through the hospital. I am eternally grateful that I didn't feel I had to compromise my health or endure excess pain simply because I couldn't afford it! This video drove home to me how vulnerable it would feel to be given kind of subpar care due to your financial status. 😢
Edit: I am about 98% back to normal, nowadays. I credit the physiotherapy for a large amount of that.
First step of first aid is asking if you can help (assuming they can respond).
If I heard him scream that "AHHH MY LEG!!!!", I'd think he was trolling with that Spongebob scene and move on. Thank God I wasn't there.
That is outta pocketttt 😂😂😂
anytime someone says "MY LEG" I instantly think of Fred the fish
The people from a distance watching him explode 😂
Lmao same
I need ski patrol😂😂 what a gimp man yeee whooo, went over a jump way to slow screemed mid air like a wild animal an then hes like ahhh my legg😂😂
Respect for the Ski Patrol Skiier who did all the leg work. Great kid, great effort. Strangers caring about strangers just hits me hard in the feels.
I felt bad every single time he apologized. There's literally no reason to apologize when you're in that much pain. I think he did a really good job managing it, actually.
He is apologizing to his savings account
As someone who broke their leg recently, I’m shocked at how well he handled this. It is so freaking painful.
I’m sure the cold helped a lot
Same dude, not even a week ago. Excruciating. Dudes a beast.
@@ethansteen8880dude lmao cold just brings swelling down a bit. Absolutely nothing is going to aide a broken bone just because it’s cold out (he’s wearing snow pants), especially not a TIB FIB dude
Big thing is just keep breathing at a steady rate. Helps a lot to take your mind of it
@@The_ArchivistsI broke my arm leaving school one time and my nurse told me the same thing. What also helps is pinching your skin somewhere else so your mind can (try) to focus on the pain of pinching your skin instead of did your broken bone. Of course, it doesn’t remove the pain very well, but it’s way better than nothing.
Having just returned from Aspen, where I had a bad fall and was taken down by ski patrol, I was struck by how much of the discussion centred on my insurance and what it would cover. It felt strange at the time, but I now realise this is fairly standard practice.
In Australia, it’s quite different-insurance isn’t typically discussed because all Australians and visitors are covered. Plus, an ambulance would likely have already been called and on standby.
Big thanks to all the amazing ski patrollers out there-they do incredible work! The two who helped me were fantastic and reminded me of these legends.
As a Canadian I was thinking the same thing, this turned into a 20 minute insurance ad essentially. In Canada like you said, ambulance would’ve been on the way and you’dve been taken straight to emergency/hospital
Yeah we got a lot of non-citizens who are currently overloading the system, and funding isn’t increasing as fast.
We also have whole cities of welfare goblins
But actually the more I think about it the more I think it would actually be illegal here to do things the way you are describing. There is a law that doesn’t allow services to be provided if they are not provided by Medicare if the company involved is owned by a company that takes any Medicare patients at any of there companies. Same thing regarding what you charge for services. Forcing someone in the mountains to pay New York City prices to have services. There’s a lot of laws like that and this feels like a situation where something like that would apply among other things.
What I’m saying the the laws on this stuff are weird here. Nobody talks about it but it’s a huge problem. There’s a reason one doctor here will have 5 techs working for him (and theyll only do legal paperwork-no touching patients).
There was once an organically developed medical system that worked well here, but a whole encyclopedia set could be written on all the ways it’s been wrecked.
Don’t let people tell you we don’t get free healthcare here btw-we do. You just get it from the county, not the state. My program is called JPS Connect I think. Tarrant County TX.
I shattered my tibia plateau skiing at my local hill, Beech Mountain, NC. After patrol assessed my break and felt the crepitus he radioed to roll EMS. They were waiting for me at the bottom. No one asked about insurance or anything.

When you have someone in distress, you listen to the party that's most in control of the situation. Two people talking at once gets everybody nowhere fast.
I agree, making noise through pain is REALLY comforting. I’m not taking screaming as if you are dying but that slow release of air does help with pain.
I can't even imagine the pain but it sounded like you really enjoyed that ride down
I like how blunt and real the one Ski Patrol guy was. I feel like if someone was trying to sugar coat it in that situation I’d just get irritated🤣
This dude was a fucking model patient. Big ups.
Bro was chill as fuck about it too
broke my femur out at Snowbird a couple years ago - worst feeling ever... hope you recovered by now man!
Can you compare it to any other pain? I feel like this is going to happen to me and I wanna know what it feels like
@Bspadz really bad, unlike anything i've felt before - but on the bright side you can walk same day as surgery!
I have broken my same femur 2 times within 3 years. I don't recommend it 😅
@@beachbummmm how on earth have you done that
@Bspadz Breaking my femur is the absolute worst thing I've ever felt by orders of magnitude... Except for breaking my pelvis. Which was significantly worse, neither of them were even in the same universe of pain compared to breaking my hand or arm.
Even still the pain was mostly manageable but there were occasional spurts where it would hurt really really bad for a few minutes, think like 10x as bad as a charlie horse is the best description I have. After a week or so most of the severe pain was gone.
Just the first couple seconds of “woos” and “yeahs” just make me feel SO bad 😓😭
Man, those ski patrol guys are CHAMPIONS! Communication perfectly both to each other and yourself, using humor to defuse the situation while not at your expense and being extremely thorough in both their actions and explanations. Society runs due to these kinds of people. Glad to hear you're doing better and are back out there skiiing!
wow! those xrays tell you everything about that fall! your a trooper dude took it like a champ! hope you aren't having leg pain still! prayers out to you man!
I kept thinking when are they going to give him The Green Whistle. Then I remembered that’s only Bondi Rescue.😂
hahahah i guess we all watch the same shows
They aren’t legal in the United States
i love bondi rescue
Green whistle is standard in Australia - I was also waiting for it lol
OMG same thought 😂😂😂😂😂
Holy shit dude, you were super level headed with the ski patrol. At least we get the green whistle in Australia as on field analgesia.
We don't belive in such things unless you are in a really bad way....
@@jillwisland680 a tib fib fracture is a perfect indication for field analgesia
@rosie7346 Sure, but I rarely if ever, see people being given analgesia in the field. Just tough it out until you get into the ambulance or the hospital.
@@jillwisland680we definitely believe in it, however we don’t have it thanks to american health care
@nine9nine9 🤷♀️ I just noticed from watching paramedic shows from America and Britain that it doesn't seem to be down half as much here as there. Why? Maybe because of the expense of the drugs and the training qualifications needed to administer the drugs. That will vary depending on where you are in the states. Large cities probably have a lot more Advanced medical service (ams) while other will only have emergency medical service (ems).
Damn as someone whos only had a hairline fracture in my wrist, those xrays at the end looked nightmarish to me. Huge props to you for not screaming your head off throughout this whole video 🫡
He called it when he said he was going to get wrecked. Also, when he said he needed the ski patrol in my head, I heard Paw Patrol.

Yeah but it ain't free. I wouldn't want to know what the bill is without insurance.
Sorry for you, lucky you're getting such professional assistance. Wishing you speedy recovery
"Dave stop talking while I'm talking" Genuinely hilarious dude knows what to do
Ski Patrol are like, the real heroes of the mountain.
They really are, I broke my femur 5 months ago skiing in Alta, Utah. They helped me in less than a minute after I fell. Now almost fully recovered!
They found my phone 30 mins before closing buried under feet of snow
This happened to me too; although I did not break the fibula, only the tibia. It is an indescribable pain. I knew instantly it was a break. Glad you recovered.

My dad was on National Ski Patrol for 50 years before he "retired". He has seen minor accidents and some pretty horrible accidents. Whenever the patrol would have a refresher training course my brothet and I got to be accident victims! I also learned to ski when I was 4 yrs old.
it’s interesting you kept saying sorry after screaming(groaning) in pain. I felt the same way when i injured my back, i felt guilty for screaming around the doctors. I wonder why we feel that way when we are injured. I guess it’s the inconvenience we perceive to have caused. That just feels silly though.
I guess part of it is probably that making noises like that isn't something we generally do in public, but they're kind of involuntary when you're injured, so you can't help it. So when you do it, your first response is then to apologise. I imagine children probably don't apologise for making noises when hurt, so it's likely a learned behavior!
For me, (fucked myself up at the gym and there were people around as paramedics got me out) I was lowkey worried I'd traumatize someone 😅 Hearing someone scream in pain is distressing, but it's worse for the person hurting to hold it in, so what can ya do
@@DarkkestNitedon’t worry dude, I was in primary school and I ran into the sharp end of a gate really fast. Knocked out for a minute or 2 and just started wailing after processing what happened. (Mind you everyone in the court was huddled around me) came back a week later and everyone was fine
I once nearly broke my back when I fell from my bunk bed and was temporarily disable for almost a month but before that I crashed while riding on the road . Drove straight in to a construction site bending my wrist and having 12 fractures in my right leg but now I am fine To be honest I also feel kinda bad when I groan in front of the doctor or paramadics
I broke my femur and it was the worst pain,also I kept apologizing about my screaming to first responders and that really odd of me???
Perfect powder day cut short; I am so sorry. That ski patrol guy was amazing!

Lmfao. Best comment, and it should be pinned
Cyberpunk ass country
It doesn’t work like that. 😅 Getting off the mountain and the immediate treatment down at Ski Patrol is free. It’s the clinic that’s not free. He chose to get himself to the hospital in case he wasn’t covered. Personally, I would prefer the hospital anyway (since it is just the leg).
We are RAPIDLY reaching a point here where that will happen alas...
@@spastickid218 no we arent... you pay tickets and everything includes paying for the rare instance that this shit happens.
I've broken my leg skiing, Was going down a hill in Canada, Fell once, Left ski never came off. Went back down. There was a person infront of me who had fallen on a more tight part of the hill, I fell purposely not to hit them. I fell hard and did a barrel roll where my right ski didn't come off. Ended up with an spiral break and a hairline fracture in my tibia. Ski patrol didn't believe me when I said I felt the bones scraping. was forced onto the back of the Skadoo, even when they had a sled on the back. Driving up the hill and forced to go through the common entrence instead of the employee entrance next to us. Was forced to walk the entire way from the skadoo, around through the cafeteria and into the ski shop. They gave me a blanked and ice pack. They refused to splint my leg and took the boot off of me. I tried sitting normally but that didn't work due to the pain. So I lied down and the Teacher with us that day had to call my parents because the ski hill refused. The ski patroller ended up getting fired and being barred from becoming one in my province again. It was a pretty bad day..
That’s shocking! Why did they do that? I hope you fully recovered.
I declare b.s. also this video…staged. It’s amazing for the public to know we exist..and this is our job. But there is no way you had a spiral fracture and they put you on a skidoo. Nice try.

@@antoniobranderas they aren't denying care. If they bill him for the care it will be really expensive vs using his insurance. He is stable enough to make an informed decision and they are allowing him to do that.

Hey I did this once. Absolutely destroyed my shoulder, and I went into shock almost right away. Love the dudes who got me off the hill and did they're best to keep me laughing.
Hey Bryce,
As a fellow leg breaker I was really happy to see someone post a full incident. Most folks never get to see it. I found my own experience to be rather similar in certain ways, most strikingly I kept saying sorry to my rescuers like you did. It's scary and not scary at the same time as you focus on getting to the next step. Also I can confirm that the pain is much worse after fentanyl, but I could also argue the adrenaline has worn off by that point. Either way you're not alone in screaming in pain. I'm glad to hear you were back to sport fairly quickly, getting back to 98% you were blessed with quick recovery. PT all day every day.
Cheers mate!
HEY BRYCE

Those of you from other countries commenting about insurance discussions in the midst of a medical emergency: brothers and sisters, you don't know the half of it 🤯 There are thousands of for-profit health insurance companies in the US, and each of those companies have thousands of different plans. And they all do their level best to deny payment for medical care.
Good ole capitalism. 👺

Thanks for leaving your go pro rolling man. It was cool to watch all the first responders doing their thing. I bet it was nice to have that footage later and play back what people said to you while you were in pain
Took that like a champ brother! Keep shredding!
absolutely love how much fun he was having before, this really captures how skiing in fresh pow feels
These patrols seems so relaxing, i had a French team of paramedics that helped me get of the moutntain while dislocating my underleg from my knee, I appreciate all the work these guys and woman are doing keep us of the mountain in such a way it’s like a five star medical crew.
I'm a critical care paramedic who skis and serves in an area with 2 ski resorts so I have respect for ski patrol, it's interesting seeing them staying in their scope of practice which is probably extremely small as I'm assuming they're at the EMR scope and not the EMT or AEMT scope
First resquer there really had such a calming typically american dad voice, what a great guy ❤
Man what a hell of a place to break it . Down in your boot man how lol? I hope you heal up well man ! That patrol was a good one. He's good at his job.
