And it probably will leave a mark. The abrasions on my arm are mostly just torn off skin, but there's a few deep cuts, the worst of which is probably about 8mm wide, 5-6mm deep and 30cm long. Definate scar material.
The crash wasn't the end of the story. I used the shock to get me off the hill, then rode 15km back to my apartment dripping blood onto the road.
Annoyingly, I wasn't even planning to go down the trail I crashed on, but as I was getting to the top on the chairlift, I needed the toilet, so went down the trail to the toilets halfway down, but decided to film another trail from the midway point that I hadn't been down yet.
Could have been better.
heres a working link to the vid
Also, ouch.
