@iainm, The fact she open her mouth on any subject would of been enough to justify that heading!!!

Says a woman who uses a helicopter very often.
She does not like people peeing in her garden either.

One of the "celebs", Tina Hobley is still not recovered after she crashed into the production team milling around the bottom of the jump zone I read. She needed someone to wipe her bottom for months due to arm injuries.

In one of the tabloids, can't remember which one. Express maybe.

On The Jonathan Ross show on Saturday it would seem.
Perhaps they'll sack her from The Jump... wishful thinking.
Edit: The Jonathan Ross show is tomorrow, only quotes from the interview in the press.

Any statement of that sort is a bit idiotic because without numbers or qualification it means nothing. Compared to the other sorts of holidays her readers/viewers go on, it's essentially true.
Why would anyone get excited about a statement made on the Jonathan Ross show?

I find her rather pointless generally.

You know it makes sense.

Thought she was addicted to white powder

Who cares what Davina says anyway? No-one who goes skiing would take any notice.
I wish they'd find someone else to present The Jump, she is one of the most irritating presenters on TV.

The problem isn't what people who go skiing think, the problem is what influence she might have on those that are considering taking it up. The Jump will, I guess, attract an audience including people who might not necessarily have tried any winter sport. As the presenter she will be perceived to have some knowledge/insight - even if she doesn't. Also remember that she has all those fitness DVDs, that also gives her the veneer of someone who might know about fitness/sporting activies. Are people going to say "I'm not going to learn to ski because Davina says it's dangerous" - probably not directly. Are people going to indirectly form the opinion that skiing is dangerous because they've heard that said, "I can't remember who said it, but I heard it on the telly and I'm sure it was someone something to do with winter sports" - more likely I'd suggest.
I can understand why those that make their living from winter sports would be upset.

iainm, i think you have misquoted her. There is a bit missing.
The whole quote actually goes:"If you think of anybody going away on a ski holiday for a week to La Plagne, your chances of getting injured on that holiday are extremely high.”
Quite right. We get far too many people in La Plagne as it is. Go somewhere else!

Not a fan but that one about finding your long lost family is so good
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe the Jump and the long lost family thing could be combined
'You've never seen her for 60 years....She's 85 years old....But if you look at the top of that ski jump....Here she comes!!'

Well she did find one guy living somewhere in the French Alps so maybe!!

A good statistician could work it in her favor.
Chance of injury on ski hol 0.01%
Chance of injury on beach hol 0.0001%
therefore chance of injury on ski hol is 100% (higher than beach hol)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or better expressed, perhaps, as 100 times more likely to be injured?

Skiing is dangerous...why otherwise would people advocate wearing a helmet at all times when on the slopes?!?
|
|
|

Snowsports are high risk activities to personal injury - period...
What the activity gives me however, is beyond comparison to anything else i know...(well almost )

I didn't think "The Jump" was going to return this year? Thought it had been axed due to poor ratings??

Nope its coming back - avg of 2.3m viewers across a 6 week show.
Although the new season may be a little tweaked following a "Thorough review of safety standards"
And you can all relax, Davina is confirmed back at the helm

Anyone who thinks, "Davina says we shouldn't go skiing", and doesn't, benefits us enthusiasts enormously!
