[QUOTE="redmule, post: 567770, member: 1338"] Not saying they are trivial, but my question remains. Why not outlaw .........? I dearly love snow skiing. I have been in the first aid buildings of several ski areas because of injuries (mostly minor, but a couple of major) to myself, friends and family. In skiing, you have people of different abilities, different degrees of risk taking, varying conditions on any given run, skiing near trees and in crowded conditions, skiing faster than any human can run, with little to no protective gear, full grown adults on the same slope as small children, varying degrees of physical conditioning, low oxygen, etc. IMO, football comes nowhere near the immediate danger and probably not on long term debilities. Colorado alone incurs double digit deaths on ski mountains each year. I would guess an order of magnitude greater cases of permanent paralysis. On a side note, if you are going to suffer a broken vertebrae or major limb damage, a ski mountain is probably the best place to do it. They see stuff like that routinely. [/QUOTE]
