Injury/Death=Policy Change?

Its like those US women who tried to sue McDonalds because they claimed they didn't know it was going to make them fat, even though they ate it 7 times a week. Where should the line be drawn between an individual's own responsibility to take care of themselves and society's responsibility to ensure others shield them. Sure, these people had joined a course on mountaineering and were learning, but they should have known that mountaineering has many dangers, including avalanches. Thats why so many companies have disclaimer forms, to protect themselves from such law suits. -

POLL: Gloves or Mitts?

Quote: Originally posted by skidaisuki: Powderoo - thanks for the link. Those are a slightly different model to the 'not for snowboard' ones I've seen in Tokyo. Want some... yeah there is a few different claw versions on the hestra site. Haven't seen one in the flesh, but it's an interesting idea. -

Sorry meant trends as in, what people prefer in function, rather than fashion. Skiiers wear mitts too, on the really filthy days, I wear my mittens. I prefer gloves as they offer better dexterity and grip, and easier to get through my stock loops. -
My thoughts go out to the family and friends, during this terrible time. Skiiers and snowboaders everywhere enjoy the snow and also are aware of the inherent dangers, and risks that come with it, so this sort of thing is an unfortunate statistic. Lets hope that this tradgedy reinforces in everyones mind, snow safety and also helmets and protective gear.
