They didn't comment on the death or have anything to do with it? I didn't respond because I was scared of exactly this type of reaction.
I do agree they're being rude, and quite dumb on purpose in later replies but still.
Exactly, as I said they glossed over the fact I personally know someone who has died skiing, and go on to argue skiing is perfectly safe, despite evidence to the contrary.
There is some truth to what they said, skiing can be perfectly save if you pretty much do exactly what they said. They're definitely ignoring other factors and reasons why you'd want to go fast.
I'm not sure why someone shouldn't "gloss over" the other part, it doesn't contribute to the discussion here.
Even if you don't go fast, you'll never be perfectly safe because of the reckless or inexperienced people who do go fast that can hit you.
How does knowing someone who died from skiing not contribute to the discussion of ski safety? It has everything to do with it, and no, you should not gloss it over unless you're a heartless cunt.
