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 :-)

eng_ch, then why mark hazards at all or pad pylons and the like?

It's in the resorts interest to protect people from themselves and to protect others from being hurt by people out of control.

Morally speaking I'd guess that most people would suggest achieving the same end with less harm is a better outcome.

The reality being, some percentage of the population abuse that morally assumption! (I suspect a rather large percentage of population does that un-conciously)

A while back, I read a report on highway safety since the introduction of anti-lock brakes. The accident rate decrease for a couple years due to better braking. But then it came back to where it was BEFORE the better brakes. Basically, drivers compensate by driving more aggressively, knowing their brakes will "save" them!

The purpose of the barrier before lift queue wasn't so much to "protect" the people standing in the queue. It's to make skier slow down. An alarming looking barrier will accomplish that a lot better than safety nettings.

And as others pointed out, the wooden barrier, whilst a lot more painful to hit, is not particularly more likely to cause injury!

At the beginning I thought we were arguing about something else, thought you were up for netting everything up. But just to keep things going - I don't understand why the fences aren't electrified. Toofy Grin wink

But if it's an argument about helmets, there are plenty of people that will tell you that risk compensation does not exist.

There're plenty of people who believe risk compensation doesn't happen for themselves. Some of those people might even be right.

I haven't heard anyone say risk compensation doesn't happen AT ALL! How can they know, without solid data to show it?
