- I have already said my 2 cents but could not refrain from thrashing /flaming the boneheads
- who want to police every aspect of skiing. For the person who started this by freaking out
- over an accident. Were you stopped on the side of the run or were you in the middle.
- Do you look up the slope before crossing, you know it is the persons responsibility who
- is crossing to look. When you are driving do you stop in the middle of the road or do
- you pull off on the shoulder. When you come up to an intersection do you look both
- ways before pulling out. When you change lanes do you look before merging over.
-
- Same principle when skiing. I believe that if one follows some common sense rules, God
- I hate that word "rules", skiing will be safe. It's those idiots that just pull up and stop
- anywhere, or traverse without looking to see who is coming. Hell, if you look at least
- you can see the person about to hit you and can ah.... aim your poles correctly.
