This one had to hurt. Pat O’Neil was trying to time his air between lifts. It didn’t go down that well. He smashed his face into a chair and ended up breaking his jaw in three places which required at least two surgeries. The Utah-based skier has a penchant for going large. With more than a few wipeouts, which he documents well on his Instagram page along with some similarly spectacular makes. Check it out, here.
