Day on the Slopes - Dad

Okay, so this is a picture of a broken arm. Before we get started with this update, we're going to play a quick game of "guess who's injured?"

1. Our contestant recently turned 40 years old, which people keep telling me, "isn't young anymore"

2. Our contestant just started snowboarding last weekend, and took the instructors praise a little too seriously.

3. Our contestant is a whole lot bit of an idiot, as evidenced by:
-Snowboarding for the second time on snow conditions described as "hard packed"
- Trying to see if he was able to perform a "quick stop" on basically a sheet of ice.
- Falling in the textbook manner in which he was instructed NOT to fall.
- After crashing and, as it turns out, breaking his arm, he:
-went up for four more runs, while wondering why his forearm bruised so quickly
-walked back to the car and stored his snowbaord gear
- walked back to the lodge and picked up Jake, carryng him down the stairs
- walked back to the car, carrying all of Jake's ski gear.
- lifted Jake into the car and changed his ski boots for snowboard boots
- carried Jake's snowboard back to the lodge
- got lunch for himself and Jake and sat down and ate
- took Jake out on the slope for an hour or so and showed him how to snowboard
-manually pulled Jake up the coaching slope four times for runs down so he could practice
-carried Jake's snowboard back to the car
-drove 45 minutes back down the winding mountain home
-fixed a snack
-watched some TV
-changed clothes
-THEN decided that a trip to the ER was probably a good idea

Who is our mystery contestant? I don't really have to answer that now, do I?
