That’s the numbers for the US only. Worldwide its 600.
More people eat each year than ski.
Way more people play basketball, and lots of people do dumb shit and play recklessly, but I can’t find a single death as a result of playing basketball in my searches. Not even due to freak accidents.
Skiing is perfectly safe if you just use bunny hills, and ski really slowly. Anything else comes with a small, but real chance of dying.
And if you look back at all my posts I never once said skiing was dangerous, I just said accident though rare due happen, and people do die.
Prospective skiers and new skiers need to be aware of this to keep them safe, and pretending accidents don’t happen, or only happen if you’re “reckless” is not true and just puts these people in danger.
downhill at high speed is still risky. My mom’s friend lost their teenage daughter when she hit a tree
So again, don’t speed downhill and you won’t lose control and hit a tree.
My claims are the same and have never changed. Unless you’re being reckless the chances of dying is slim to none. Again, the statistics agree with me so it’s about time you shut the fuck up already since you can’t admit you’re wrong. You have similar odds of being struck by lightening. Again, unless you’re being reckless and skiing off the main trails.
The hilarious part here is you’re trying to use statistics to win a fight you already lost and the same statistics you’re using is only proving me right.
Keep going tho this is funny shit.
I’ll say it again. Skiing is pretty damn safe unless you’re an idiot.

World wide only means an even larger sample. That’s a small amount of deaths per year if that’s world wide.
Stick to groomed trails and slow the fuck down. The chances of dying are minuscule unless you start doing dumb shit. The statistics back it up.

No but you spent the entire time saying “skiing isn’t as safe as you claim it to be”.
Well I am claiming that skiing is pretty damn safe as long as you aren’t being reckless.
The statistics prove it.
Because you kept claiming no one ever dies or gets hurt skiing unless they’re reckless.
That is not true, and you finally admitted it a few posts ago.
You’re original claims were definitely false.
Wrong. You’re just highly confused.
I’ll paste your original comment:
