Fucked up Day

So today I was skiing with my friends and we went on this groomed run that has a big roller at the end, so it was fast. My friend went first then me. He hit the roller but I didn't see him ski out but then I saw his ski fly up like 20 feet. I go down and see him rag dolling and look back up the slope and see these two kids in the landing. we hike back up and one kid is bleeding from his head. after like 10 minutes the patrollers get here. and they put him on the sled. My friend goes to the aid room and his leg might be broken (but probably not, he is at the hospital now). But the kid who got hit got medivaced out, so we will see.

this is one of those times which proves that only idiots sit under landings...if you get hurt, ski with your friends so if your stuck at a landing they can tell people not to hit the jump, holy duck this sounds horrible

It doesnt matter that he was the downhill skier if hes sitting in a spot that makes him invisible from directly uphill.

If it was blind he shouldn't have gone off it, end of, or at least slowed down.  If it's on a groomer that's completely different from someone sitting in the landing to a booter. Yes it was stupid, but it could just have easily been someone who had fallen, hardly their fault if someone then twats them in the head because they didn't know what was below them and went off blind.

You need to take some responsibility.

Plus, that really sucks man, for the kid and for your friend. But people need to wear more helmets.

If you drive around at 100 mph everywhere you go, and someone doesn't see you coming, and they broad side you and you kill them, is it their fault that you were driving recklessly? Even if kids do sit in the "landing" of a roller, or with a blind spot uphill of them, you, as a skier are responsible with anticipating something like that. I guarantee that if there was a tree on the landing, noone would blame it.

It sucks what happened, but jumping blind is dumb, I used to jump rollers all the time in racing blind (in a train too) but I never do it now because it would suck landing on a 5 year old, even if it isn't their fault.

Use groomers to get to the lifts, jump in the park/natural features on hard runs. Unless you live in the midwest in which case I'm sorry to hear that.

^^ and before i skied away he was babying the kid like he was 2 years old ( and i know he was 10, cuz his dad made it very clear that hes onllyyyy 10 so i told him that im only thirteen) and saying to the kid its ok were going to get this mean bully in trouble, it was so pethetic i almost cried my self. and i never got in any trouble, the ski patrol found me and said that i shouldent have sworn and then skied away because it was very rude, but then said its not nearly enough to get me kiked out ( just incase i was worring)

Last season, we where filming for our vid, on the big cheese wedge at my park, and we where landing way down on the landing. So IM goin down get this huge 5 in and ass check the landing cuz It was hard landing that far down. So im sliding with my back down the hill waiting to slow down so I can turn around when all of a sudden I hear my buddy yell "get the fuck off the landing" then right after BAM I smoked this kid who he and his friends where chilling on the landing, I was told he did a b flip to land on his face, and his ski boots hit me in the back and the head. Got a nice concussion from that, and I luckily rocked my helm that day and I usually dont when riding park.

if its not in a park, it's the person jumping's responsibility to make sure the landing is clear. the kid in the landing could have

a) been a douche bag and was chilling in the landing or

b) actually wrecked and got hurt there

somthing like thhis happened to me last year. there was a little kid standing right next to a jump so i start my run-in i hit the jump and the kid had started to ski straight down the landing area. I nailed him head on. he was only like 7 or 8 so i felt kinda bad buy i was like what the fuck are you doing in a park anyway.

Are you thinking that people should wear 2 helmets? Or even more?
