It was his first time going snowboarding, and it happened to be New Year’s Day in Minnesota. My friend and I ventured out of town to have a fun holiday weekend. He started on the bunny hill as one would when it’s their first time. He made his way down the hill and almost immediately after picking up some speed, he fell, and his friend went down to meet him. “Ow!” he said, “something is definitely wrong.” He couldn’t move his leg, so the friend went to get the ski patrol. The friend ended up being taken to the hospital and found out he had broken his leg. He made a full recovery, and the day wasn’t anywhere short of life lessons one being to not attempt a winter sport on your own especially if you’re inexperienced. His friend later noticed that he was sunburnt, he had not been wearing any goggles to protect his face when he sat next to him. Wearing your goggles protects you from harmful UV light. He later realized that he should have used sunscreen, worn a mask around his neck, and have something that covered his ears. The reflective snow can reach your face, where most skin cancers actually occur and so at the end of the day, one of us had a broken leg and the other a very bad sunburn. That day did not turn out how either of us thought when we went out to have some fun.
