"I was sending just a liiiiitle [sic] too hard and took a nasty spill which ultimately put me here," he continued. "And since this is probably going to be the only pic I get in Switzerland, I figured I gotta post it."

"The Swiss Mountain Rescue blew my mind today," the lengthy caption read. "It took me about an hour to flag someone down for help but once I did, I was airborne and in surgery in less than an hour.
Unglert explained that he dislocated his hip and fractured his femur, resulting in doctors putting four screws and a plate in his leg, but he said he's "extremely grateful" that the injury wasn't worse.
He finished the post: "Looks like I'll be celebrating Xmas in a hospital bed this year."
