Independent Journalism in Denver Needs You
We need to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Nobody wants a wipeout to land them on the disabled list for the rest of the season, but for some reason we humans love to watch one another literally crash and figuratively burn. (Almost as much as we love to watch one another commit even more unseemly acts.)

10. This one is at the top of the page for a reason: “Getting hurt sucks.”

8. He’s no Simon Dumont, but his landing is funnier and less painful.
7. The wrong answer to “Have you ever been skiing down a flight of stairs?”
6. In honor of the Winter Olympics, a serious luge wipeout.
5. And just like that, snowboarding season was over.
4. “Next time I’m wearing a helmet for sure.” Hindsight is 20/20.
3. Bad ski wipeout indeed.
2. Who says sledders can’t wipeout with the best of them?
