You don’t understand accidents. A sudden unexpected ice patch can send someone down hard. A build-up of soft snow without good support underneath can create an invisible pit that can be fallen into.
I skied and snowboarded for over a decade, and was considered quite good, and the only reason I don’t do it these days is I don’t live near a hill.
But I am smart enough to acknowledge there are plenty of risks, and it is possible to get seriously injured or die as a result of the sport even if you work hard to eliminate those risks.
You’re stupid statement that it’s perfectly safe is the exact idiotic statement that gets people killed, because it makes it sound like there is no risk.
“Perfectly safe”. So you’re just going to fabricate lies to win some dumb argument? Considering I never said that it just means you’re lying.
Usually when someone needs to bring hyperbole to an argument it means they lost.
You keep pretending your friends death was some freak accident that couldn’t have been avoided instead of just accepting that if they executed better judgement they’d still be alive.
If you have even half the experience you claim you have you would know there is absolutely no reason to be moving at fatal speeds without ignoring the blatant danger. That’s a choice not an accident.
People don’t just fall over and die skiing as if they got struck by lightening.
You know who make up the majority of skiing accidents? That’s right, people who ignore danger signs, and ski off main trails for the thrills, and end up getting stuck under an avalanche, or the other million things that can kill you when you’re not skiing on main trails. That’s not normal skiing; that’s high risk activity and it’s what contributes to the majority of the statistics you’re firing off without understanding them.
If you’re doing the right thing there is no reason to get wrapped around a tree unless you’re skiing in a place you shouldn’t be.
They were skiing on groomed trails, with their parents who were making sure they stayed on groomed trails. Groomed trails still have trees around them.
It’s quite clear you don’t understand even the most basic of skihills or physics.
And you still haven’t explained the well over 100 deaths and 100,000 injuries that result from normal, not reckless skiing each year. Please, explain why those numbers are so high, even though you say no one could ever get injured or die skiing normal trails?
You want me to explain some statistic you’re pulling out of your ass? Wow you really got me there chief.
Explain how someone misses a turn and speeds off a cliff out of control into a tree if they are skiing on a groomed trail without doing something wrong? Your bullshit story doesn’t add up.

It was.
5 MPH is a fatal speed if you fall wrong. Any speed above pizza on bunny hill can be fatal. How are you too daft to understand that?
Still doesn’t account for the over 100 people a year who die from actually normal skiing.
There are other ways to die skiing.
God, you’re blind.
No one is dying from falling down on a groomed trail at 5 mph.
You are too dumb for your own good.
I’ve hit sudden ice on groomed trails and fell and hit my head, one can definitely die from that.
One can die slipping in their tub while taking a shower.
If you can’t see the difference between that and taking unnecessary risks then it’s obvious you are too dumb for your own good.
It’s quite clear your friend wasn’t skiing on standard groomed trails, just admit it already.
They were skiing on groomed trails, with their parents who were making sure they stayed on groomed trails. Groomed trails still have trees around them.

When did I say cliff? I said the snow built up near the trees creating a pit that could be fallen into. They missed a turn and fell into said pit.
Do you honestly not know of treeside pits in snow? They are very common, and actually quite dangerous.
And a simple web search will turn up those statistics for you.
