A week and a half ago, Colorado college student Lexi DeForest was hiking in Wyoming when she broke her ankle. Broke it? The girl snapped it clean off. Seriously, dude, ow.

Having been down a similar road, I know how critical it is that you keep your shit together. Humor, poking fun at the situation, carrying on as normal as possible — these are the tactics that keep destructive panic at bay. In this week’s AJ poll, What’s Your Best Adventure Quality, a lot of readers selected “cool under pressure” — DeForest is the embodiment of that.
