Massive Wakeboard Crash Faceplant which Drew Blood

The fatal catch of the toe-side edge. This crash actually caused some blood to drip from Chad's eyes. Check out my "Wakeboarding Crashes 2006" video for more - but this is the best one by far.

im thinking of trying wakeboarding it looks pretty cool but how common is it to catch an edge or have a bad fall like that. I snowboard a little Im not a beginner but not REALLY good. Is it harder than snowboarding because your bouncing around a little bit more cus of waves and stuff?

[srsmith15]

Hey Goodcharlotterocks13 - if you are comfortable snowboarding, you should be fine wakeboarding. Just start off at a slower speed - like 16 MPH, and this will not happen to you, even if you happen to catch an edge. In general, snowboard crashes are much harder than wakeboard crashes when you're just learning. Good luck!

He fell because he didnt have his nees bent

[srsmith15]

Extremeley astute comment, CKMaster1. If his nees was bent, this wreck would not have occurred. If he bended heez nees he woot nothav cacha tha dreded toesida edge and notta foll so bad. Eeeitza heeez nees!!! Theyze notta bent so goood, as you sayz.
