Whoa. That sounds horrible. And the aftermath! I feel fortunate in comparison.
Same fracture here. My humerus got a clean snap by me transferring my entire body weight on to it when I axle stalled and the coping block tipped into the bowl. The break was complicated by the hospital (this was India) hammering a nail along the length that was too long. Back in the UK, the specialist who removed it said it was probably a second-hand nail and that it was meant for a child's tibia. This sounds far-fetched and I don't think he was trying to make any particular point. But I didn't question it at the time. I do know that it buggered up that arm for a while and I couldn't raise it above my shoulder until the pin was removed.
I like the idea of a bowl with a roll-in, or banks to slide. What I think is feasible is mini ramp then bowl it out. From the outside it will look like an earthship, inside will be pure rad*
