"skiers tend to get one or two injuries for every 1,000 days skiing while snowboarders are around twice as likely to get hurt."
Reason being....?

Does it have anything to do with the average snowboarder I.Q and his/her ability to coordinate ones self?

Because they sit on the piste in the way of skiers?

Might have something to do with the fact that in the survey they will have counted the 1000's upon 1000's of snowplough turning skiers who do no more than 5 mph down the pistes (difficult to injure yourself at those kinds of speeds). There is no equivalent of a snowplough on a snowboard.

Ordhan - All snowboarders are stupid and all skiers are 'more cleverer than what they are' is a shining example of intelligence to be held up for the many. I feel it my duty to thank you for enlightening us poor stupid snowboarders.
Obviously there would be some that claim that you are making sweeping generalisations based on your own preconceptions, biases and preferences? They would probably be snowboarders or boarderline (sic) skiers who will one day realise they are of sub-standard intelligence and strap on a plank so as not to denigrate your master race of skiing behemoths.
Someone of such obvious innate intelligence would not use pure conjecture to come up with a theory of intelligence based on snow sports preference, so please could you direct the more inquisitive of us to the scientifically proven reports that you will have no doubt used to form your opinions.
I will try not to associate your comments with all skiers as obviously there will be a lot of them that are of lower intelligence than you and may not be quite so 'enlightened'. Thanks again for your insight, I feel I have learnt a valuable lesson. 
Just out of interest have you ever seen any groups of skiers standing around in the middle of the slope? When I've noticed this I usually put it down to the fact that they are probably new to the sport and will learn not to obstruct the piste in this way (of course it might be that they are low IQ skiers that should be snowboarding). Obviously all of the snowboarders you've seen are experienced mountain riders and are only doing this to upset you due to your unusually large intellect (or should I just say head).

They will be the ones having the "How to stop in the middle of the slope when you encounter boarders" lesson.

edmundf, I think you are missing the true question, salt or sweet? The proponents of salt will have no truck with sweet popcorn whilst sweet popcorn enthusiasts see salted popcorn as an abberation. My personal preference is for sweet at the bottom of the carton topped up with salt (the best of both worlds IMO) but I would find it difficult to measure a persons IQ based on their preference of cinema related snacks. Perhaps we should ask Ordhan his opinion

Comic book superhero powers aside (although 'spidy sense' would be very useful) we must as a group address the serious and contuinuning use of sugary snacks while watching people who are of the 'Something Should Be Done' brigade. Consumption of these snacks could lead to a significantly increased risk of heart palpations. It is clear which snack is better.
Is there a sarcasm button someplace on this thing?

the answer is here:-

amazing how many times The Times has been able to recycle this ski accidents story, that must be the third time this year I've seen the same story tarted up and sent out on the slippery slope of journalism.
