Yeah, smacking your head against the ice is no joke, though it seems every single time it happens, guys have this machismo thing where they pretend it's no big deal. Like over Xmas break my wife and I were skating at the local rink in her home town, and this guy decides he's gonna race these two kids (looked like either sons or nephews), and do a hard stop against the boards just in the nick of time.
Well, the kids did just fine, but the adult goes to stop, and does, but his momentum took him by surprise or something, because as he was "going back up" from his hockey stop (I think you guys know what I mean; like when his legs straightened back out after his forward momentum stopped) he slips backwards and cracks his head on the ice with the most blood-curdlingly unnatural sound you can imagine. I fully expected to look over and see this ****er's brains on the ice. Instead, he just turns "embarrassed red" and gets up chuckling as if nothing happened.
I tried to make the guy go sit down for a minute just to make sure he was alright, but he was having none of it
