Bike was facing the opposite direction and I was facing to the stars. The impact on the soft soil resulted in trauma to my left shoulder, 2 cracked ribs, a punctured lung and a cracked scapula. Maybe I should have been riding where 12 inches or more of soft snow was at the side of the path.
BTW, in 2011 I flipped and landed on grass in a front yard resulting in a minor broken neck, broken clavicle and nerve damage. Maybe snowy conditions might have reduced injuries.

Sorry, I guess the grass wasn’t long enough.
