NE1, your daughter is skiing with the people involved? |
No, my friends daughter is out there doing a season. People she knows saw it happen. Don't know how they are mentally, I think that would be horrific to see.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I see the comments on the Daily Mail page above have now descended into a helmet debate. The comment was crass but what if the snow cannon had been another person. I can see where Altis was coming from; he was perhaps guilty being too honest by typing his real feelings. |
It's possible to be critical of someone's action without welcoming their death.

PaulC1984, Well, sliding for 130 ft and then flying for 43 usually indicates that the speed and technique weren't adjusted to conditions. The initial speed has to be very high if loss of control lead to this kind of accident. He probably was skiing "well" but it's not an indicator of speed. Even good skiers need to slow down unless they are on a race course. |
Quite. Very limited data suggests this is closer to a downhill or SG race crash or even a motorbike crash than the average fall. Other slope users have a right to expect uphill skiers won't be putting them in that sort of jeopardy. Not suggesting the deceased here was doing so of course only witnesses and investigators can determine that.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I was aware of several blog posts and other comments on social media, none of them pleasant, following my brothers suicide. Apparently it had inconvienced someone from getting to the beach - lots of mess at foot of cliffs it seems.
It is the nature of the world that people will always post on social media their views and that isn't going to change.
Did it upset me - not really, he had a valid point. I just decided to avoid looking at places where stories may be visible.

Yes but I hope nobody welcomed his death with comments like "bring it on"!
