You don’t understand accidents. A sudden unexpected ice patch can send someone down hard. A build-up of soft snow without good support underneath can create an invisible pit that can be fallen into.

I skied and snowboarded for over a decade, and was considered quite good, and the only reason I don’t do it these days is I don’t live near a hill.

But I am smart enough to acknowledge there are plenty of risks, and it is possible to get seriously injured or die as a result of the sport even if you work hard to eliminate those risks.

You’re stupid statement that it’s perfectly safe is the exact idiotic statement that gets people killed, because it makes it sound like there is no risk.
