The 62 stitches snowboarder Shaun White needed last fall came from a crash in which his face slammed on the lip of the halfpipe in New Zealand.

In footage of the crash and its aftermath, which were published by Yahoo Sports on Wednesday, White is bleeding heavily from his face into a towel and dripping onto the snow. White cut his forehead, nose and appears to have split his upper lip in the video.
