Port are heading into irrelevant territory in the eyes of non-SA media. They don't care about them and stories about them get few clicks.
 
Knew some guys that collided mid air on knee boards and one of them broke a collarbone. I'm not sure how prevalent shoulders are in water skiing, it's been a long time for me, but my recollection of falling was most sideways with arms pretty well tucked in because you're holding the triangle thingy pretty close to your chest. They might be the most common injury though.
Not into extreme sports myself, but shoulders probably are the commonest water ski injuries, as there is much tension in the shoulders when grabbing at the triangle thingy, and then at the point of impact with the water, the shoulder would in the least be jarred or dislocated, if not fractured.

with shoulders as strong as his should be the traction from holding the tope shouldn't be a likely issue, but definitely the dismount if landing the wrong way would have high potential for injury. Landing on extended arm could cause compression in the joint that it doesnt like or more likely the arm has been forces up and back which is the common way to dislocate the shoulder which I assume is whats happened and then its a matter of how much associated damage has happened

Wines grew up in Echuca, he's probably an experienced waterskiier.

Shoulders are very common injury behind a boat especially the better you are, I've seen dislocated shoulders, strained ligaments, and a completely torn off the bone bicep tendon amongst myself and mates over the years we used to ski.

I'm just under 100kg (Wines would be similar weight) my slalom ski speed was just over 50kph, barefooting speeds around 60-70kph. When you stack it barefooting it feels like you've been hit by a truck, it's very easy to injure yourself.

The funny thing I read on the Port board was that Jonas has a shack and a boat and Wines could have possibly been behind Jonas' boat when he did his shoulder.
 
what ferguson is that?
wonder what constitute extreme sports though.
You can argue that playing soccer or even tennis has a real risk of injury every time you set foot on the playing field. I’ve done a stack of injuries from tennis alone with tennis elbow, back strain and ankle sprains.

Wonder what the probability of an injury would be in water skiing? I have a friend who is into water skiing every few months. Never heard him have any serious injuries before from doing it.

How would you rate the risk of injuries of water skiing and something like playing a match of footy?

When you’re paid shit tons to play professional footy, water skiing is a stupid and risky thing to do. They are paid handsomely to risk their well being on the footy field.

Ollie needs to buddy up with Watts, swimming and **** is a lot safer

When I was younger I played footy, cricket, waterskiied and also karate.

Personally the most injuries by far were footy & cricket, a long way back to skiing and the safest was karate.
 
I'd just like to point out that Riley Knight goes water skiing regularly. In fact at least one of his ankle injuries was related to it.


I heard he injured his ankle on the boat ramp launching his boat.

He's very good too, he posted a picture on social media as soon as the season finished, mid air upside down doing a front flip on a kneeboard.

Jonas wanted to be the sole captain & keep the tradition of #1 jumper... ;)
 
With water skiing when you are new and you fall you generally let go, when you are good at it you think you can recover from a fall and get back up, I'd bet Ollie had a full and kept one hand on the rope as he went under and it yanked his shoulder out of the socket.

Then he's a ****ing idiot!

Seriously, it's not hard to just avoid activities that would jeopardize your career.

It's kinda like a TV show host saying something racist on air. Not hard to avoid, it's only the ****ing idiots that can't help themselves
 
A caller just called 5aa said he works at a golf course and had a go at Crows and Port players for using the golf buggies.
But apparently that is a club directive as they are not meant to walk as they could injure themselves.

So you would think water skiing would be a huge risk for Olly.

Polec no good. Wingard overrated. Now Wines can be covered by Atley.

#portlogic
Yeah a few Port people ringing up 5aa and saying they have cover for Ollie so no big deal.

That is not true.
