The ski patrol at my home mountain banned trains in the parks. Reasonable or ridiculous?

More then one person hitting a feature in quick succession, usually doing the same trick.

But yeah OP, that's fucked, I get the whole danger aspect argument, but I just cannot see the reasoning behind banning them completely. What's the punishment for being caught training?

That doesn't make any sense at all - you get the danger argument but can't see the reasoning behind banning it completely? What are they supposed to do, ban it a little bit? How does that work?

It's annoying because trains are fun but it's patrol's job to mitigate hazards and they're the ones dealing with the broken bodies when shit goes wrong so it's not hard to figure out why they might not want people doing them.

You managed on contradicting yourself in the same sentence you jackass. If you idiots don't understand why it might be a bad idea please don't plan on procreating because the world is dumb enough as it is.

it sucks but it is reasonable, if one person goes down in the middle that guy could potentially get fucked and seriously hurt, same deal at my mountain, they arn't banned but we cant really do them

i can see why. Like stated above, if one person goes down, it gets real interesting. Then again, if you keep your distance it's not that bad

Not sure what the punishment would be if we were caught, but we've noticed patrol standing in the park watching so they must be pretty serious.
I think that if you're smart about it, and give each other enough space to stop if someone falls then they are pretty safe. And usually we are doing easy/funny things when we do trains anyway.
