Experience Description

I was coming back from my club ACT where we helped build stage equipment for the school play. I just finished cleaning the brushes from painting a house. I walked into my school lobby and saw some of my friends. I went to go and sit with them they said, 'Hey why don't we go and play on the ice?' So I said, 'Ok sounds like fun.' I have played on the ice in front of my school before and I like sliding on it and things of that nature. I went away from those friends who wanted to play on the ice and saw some of my other friends and went over to them. I watched what they were doing, it looked like fun, and it didn't look like much could happen to me.

Well I was running at near full speed onto the ice when I slipped, I saw my feet go into the air then I blacked out. I then was 'Floating' on top of one of those snow mounds, and I saw myself just lying there on my side with my legs crossed, but I specifically remember my legs being crossed. Then I heard a voice from very far away calling my name asking if I was joking, then I saw in a sort of a white color and couldn't really see that much. I walked to the nurse with this man who I believe was one of my vice principals and then my mom picked me up I went to the hospital and that was it.
