Hear Ya,
I run skinz running boards which compounds the problem....but wouldn't change them for the world honestly.
Bottom line is you gotta watch out cause if the sled pitches right and you go left, you're either going to break your leg or screw up you knee.

That stinks. For some reason I always have worried about that so I make sure to keep mine out of there even on the trail. Not a lot of grip on stock boards to keep you from sliding up in there.
Hope you can make a full recovery. Sounds like one of those that won't let you forget about it for a while

Yea i removed mine right after a stupid dismount on my part had me dangling off the sled with my foot stuck under it I could not get free for quite awhile. I got on line and there were a lot of discussions on the merits of keeping them or removing them. I think lot also depends on the size of your foot and the boot you wear.
Sorry to hear that you were one of the unlucky ones Robb and sounds like you paid a big price for it. I think most of us expect a nothing less then a full recover
sliver lining it happened at the end of the season and not the first outing. And there is some good time for recovery before the summer activities get rolling. I apologize up front, since i am not sure where you are, and I will feel like an A$$ for saying it if in fact it just started.

My father in law broke his ankle last year about the same time as Robb. Got his foot stuck in the stirrup and got bucked off his Nytro. was pretty serious required surgery. A plate and screws. He's just barely starting to walk normally now. It was a long painful recovery not to mention all the time off of work.

Sorry to hear of another broken ankle caused buy a foot stuck in a stirrup.
I don't doubt that. it happens in with other models as well. Had a friend fall off his older polaris 800 just right and got drug across a meadow by one foot. I took mine off the day after a poor dismount left me hanging below the sled not able to get my foot out until i found a way to get above the sled and it came right out. I think it depends on the boots you wear as well. Some people like them and use them but for me after the first time that was enough for me.
