Replying to Best falls/accidents
So I am sure there have been many a thread about this, but I thought I would start another one with a great story:
So I ski at this crappy mtn in virginia. The TP is pretty small and is only accessible by a j-bar. Anyway, one day there are about 10 of us on the park (fairly empty) when this group of middle school kids comes up on ski boards. First off, I am not a fan of ski boards. Are they good for anything? Anyway...
These kids start trying to go over the jumps. First off, they can barely ski, much less get anything resembling air. Second, they follow abotu 5 ft behind each other. This is where is gets good...
These kids decide they are gonna test their skills on a 15 ft tabletop with a fairly steep takeoff. The first kid goes up, and falls on the very lip of the jump, doing a complete split. Another kid, who is following five ft behind him, has to go flying off the side to avoid the first. He does half a lincoln, and lands on his face. I am in disbelief at this point, when the third kid decides to come flying down and crashes his ski tips into the kids head, who has just smashed his face into the ground. The 10 year old kid starts cussing up a storm, and wonders what went wrong.
I told them to leave because they couldnt even turn, much less ski, but only after laughing that one kid almost decapitated another with his lil skis. Good accidents, post here
