two_ravens Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Mostly about skiing, but the best quote is: “Most people think that snowboarders whack into skiers,” Mr. Shealy says. “But it’s completely the other way around,” a phenomenon related to how each group falls. “Snowboarders stop abruptly,” Shealy says, their boards biting into the snow. “Skiers slide,” he says, often into a downed snowboarder. http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/16/phys-ed-how-to-avoid-injury-on-the-slopes/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatha Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 It always gets down to control or no control....My experience has been the skidding skiers are going slower than the riders who are bombing down the hill to get back on the lift to get back to the terrain park. The skiers may collide more the riders are going to have a more impressive crash when they do crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
