Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

FIS announces three-year research programme into ski racing safety

 Poster: A snowHead

Faced with a continuing problem of injuries amongst its star performers, the International Ski Federation has commissioned three years of research to reduce accidents in ski racing.

This report from The New York Times

Quote:
The ski federation says 43 percent of all Alpine World Cup skiers had an injury last year.


A longer report from The Canadian Press.

Why do they need 3 years to discover this ?

The answer is obvious, its the turns in the courses. Which means its the course setters, end of.

I think the theory is that if you have a significant PR problem (though this is, of course, a serious professional issue for ski racers) you commission some research to deflect the focus from the decision-makers.

This is, of course, a very tricky thing to resolve because the public complain about flat smooth downhill courses ... and the racers like a challenge too.

Faced with its Apollo 13 crisis (explosion in outer space), NASA did not commission three years of research. They had to get the astronauts home in a week. So, it's true that it doesn't take three years.
