Because it is only acceptable to do tricks you have seen done before. Shut the fuck up OP.

I'm pretty sure OP is saying that someone is literally going to die because they are dangerous as fuck. Calm down.

I disagree. I've heard a lot of people say that huge/high risk features pose a huge threat to inexperienced riders. But in my experience most people don't attempt features or tricks that are too far out of their ability. No beginner skier stands at the top of a 60 foot step down and thinks "I'm gonna rodeo 7 this."

if somebody can die hitting a handrail (which has happened) it is not impossible for somebody to die doing something with twice the danger.

NO!!
what the fuck!

Of course someone going to die doing urban eventually, I'm sure someone has. Injuries will probably increase after the olympics. This is the same thing the kind of shut down freestyle in the 70's. There were like 3 different tours all running on national TV before people started getting hurt and then insurance shut it all down.

Thankfully right now it seems like most people hitting sketchy urban like Nipwitz know what the fuck they are doing, but I'm sure someone is going to die in the future.

I can easily see someone dying in the neat future skiing or snowboarding urban. Very few people wear helmets, the level of riding is progressing so rapidly, and people are constantly trying to get the shot. Urban is really different than looking at a 60 foot kicker and immediately knowing you can or cant hit it-just so many variables.
