Oh dear! Hope she was OK. I do love the title of this thread....v witty.
On a different note I'm wondering how one might apportion blame for this accident. As you were overtaking her, then in theory you were 100% responsible. However, I can't help feeling she was partly (25%?) at fault as she seemed to turn across the piste and didn't glance uphill. Then again, unless your eyes were pointing in a different direction to the GoPro it seems you were looking at her all the time anyway.
Far too much analysis of a (hopefully) harmless bump!

Totally my fault. I was trying to second guess her....she never goes off piste, and I was expecting her to turn.
Thankfully we were both fine. A good job we were both wearing helmets and I was able to buy her a pizza and beer later in the day! It was actually the chalet host day off!

This implies you only buy her a pizza and beer when you have caused her physical injury!

if he wasn't wearing a helmet he wouldn't have been wearing a go-pro so we wouldn't have had the video!

indeed. was this a "go-pro induced collision"? I'd have expected a lot more than a beer and pizza.

...me too, but she had a headache

You know it makes sense.

It might have been Les Arcs actually.... But we did stay in La Flat as Dave calls it.

maggi, he said afterwards once he'd watched the footage that he didn't know what he was thinking. I agree

Simple Dave - husband. Clare - wife. Therefore Dave's fault every time.

Thornyhill, are you implying it wasn't? He just kept ploughing into her. And then had the cheek to rant! But he did buy her a pizza - knows how to show a girl a good time.

The error, I think, comes in at 6/7 seconds. The yellow trousers are clearly heading into the side to slow down; I'd have aimed for the other side of them. (If paying attention etc. etc. etc.)
A test, I think, is to imagine what you would have done if you'd been driving a car. Would you have gone for that gap on the left?
