      You could try not being an asshole.

      People do get injured and die skiing. It is not as safe as you claim it is. And you’re being a complete asshole about it.

      And slaloming down the side of a mountain on some planks of wood is far more dangerous than walking, and you fucking know that.

          Wow, so still a complete asshole.

          Hundreds of people die skiing worldwide each year. Skiing is vastly more dangerous than ice hockey, a sport where people with blades on their feet fight each other.

          And that’s not mentioning the hundreds of thousands of injuries.

          Skiing is not nearly as safe as you claim it is, so stop being such an asshole about it.

              600 deaths and 600,000 injuries a year as a result of a sport a small minority of people take part in. Skiing is not as safe as you claim.

              And you’re still a colossal asshole.

                  She was not being reckless, she missed a turn and ended up falling into a pit where she couldn’t stop and hit a tree.

                  Skiing is not as safe as you claim it is.

                  And no, you’re a special kind of asshole, because you flippantly discount someone’s death due to an accident, because you can’t accept your precious sport isn’t as perfectly safe as you think it is.
