Nobody is super-human. Not even the Gigi Rüfs and Halldor Helgasons of this world are infallible.

And let’s be honest, we all like seeing the world’s best slam partly ‘cos it’s as a reminder that they – like the rest of us – are only human. No one can nail tricks that crazy without suffering from some truly horrific falls once in a while.

So here we are, 13 of the worst slams we’ve seen this year. It’s the snowboarding equivalent of car crash TV for you to enjoy/squirm over this festive period. Been in the wars yourself? Then send your gory pics over to us for our Injury of the Month feature in the mag!
