Die Skiing?

angryal · 2001-11-14 10:28:45

I think I would be happy if I had to die in some way, and it was my time to go that skiing would be the way that I would most prefer. There is nothng else that I love more than skiing. Growing up skiing every weekend since I can remember has been a constant pleasure and has given me utter enjoyment in my life. Taking my last breath on this earth cascading down the mountain would make me an extremely happy man.

yes if you die peacefully while skiing, but it is true that if you die because you crash hard and suffer a lot it would suck.

I donno if id be down.. the idea of dying doing something I love sounds spiffy and all, but then thinking of the ways to die skiing... well that just sounds horrible, and if I knew I was gonna die id probably be really angry for a little thinking how iv been skiing long enough, should have been smart enough to not do whatever it was that was about to kill me.

This type of thread has been created several times before. Just sayin'. But I don't really care.

I'd rather die skiing than any other place on Earth. Wouldn't it be better to die doing something that you love? I plan on skiing for as long as I physically can--and then some. And I expect advances in medical technology to make it possible for me to ski much longer than older people today could have. I'd just rather die doing something that I love. That pretty much sums it up.

well the thing with dying doing what i love is this....

i love skiing. Not falling, not plunging off a cliff, not impaling myself, nor do i love causing massive internal bleeding. So the odds of me just....dying while peacefully making some turns are minimal at best.

ok.

I don't love suffocating underneath feet of snow with broken bones. and i feel like in those last moments, you would definitley not be thinking, "man this is great, i'm gonna die doing what i love. people will remember me for this"

I would rather ski my whole life. die in my bed thinking about all the days i ski'd and how much i loved it.

that would be much more beautiful.

I don't really think about my own death, but it were to be ski related I think I would want to die peacefully in my sleep following a bluebird day after a week of constant snow.

But that is just me.

Let me tell you right now, dying as a result of skiing would not be dope. 2 years ago I came pretty damn close to dying while skiing, and I was not thinking "damn, this is great, I'm gonna die doing something i love." I was thinking holy fuck, I might die right now, that is the scariest, saddest, most painful shit I have ever felt.

That's true. Especially the bit about LouLou. But my point is that hopefully gear will keep getting better for protecting one's knees and whatnot.

To the person above: I'm just saying that I'd much rather die living my life than reminiscing about what I have done my life. Does that make sense? I'm not saying I want to die in an avalanche or some freak accident. And I'm not saying that I want people to remember me for dying in an epic crash (or whatever) either.

But seriously, planning your own death is stupid.

Man, I'm guessing it wouldn't hurt one bit if you were skiing nice deep pow in a glade and just slammed into a tree and BOOM. Besides, skiing pow is pure bliss.

One of the PT teachers from my school died while skiing. He was skiing down a groomer, and just had a heart attack there and then, and died, standing up in his skis. His family thought he had fallen over over and hit his head or something, and was unconscious. But he was dead before he hit the ground.

If I had to go, that's how I'd want to go. Skiing, but painlessly. Like in the middle of a trick off a booter, you just die in mid-air.

RIP

This is true. But I guess it would be easier than sitting at his bedside for weeks while he slowly died of some horrible disease? I don't know. Any death is not a nice thing to deal with.

at least if you die of a disease your loved ones can say their last goodbyes and don't have to regret like a fight they had with you before you died skiing. that would suck.

Honestly I'd prefer falling or a hail of gun fire. Skiing could contribute to either of those though, what with the inherent winter sports dangers of cliff drops and drive by's.

Well I can only imagine, but I would think that besides being burned to death, suffocation would probably be the worst way to go, and a good majority of people that die skiing die from suffocation, either from a tree well or avalanche.

Maybe you will want to rethink this.
