Someone replaced the "inherently dangerous" statement with a statement that skiing is less dangerous than sports like golf. I haven't looked at the source, but isn't this a little silly? Perhaps we could just simplify the statement to say that skiing injuries can occur, so ski areas have first aid facilities. Or we could say something more balanced about the risk. But this is not the "skiing" entry, it's the "ski resorts" entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ssilvers (talk • contribs) . 17:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm contemplating starting an article for references I've gathered on skiing and snowboarding accident rates, which would be the best way to simplify this article and address the issue in skiing and snowboarding—neither of which mention it. While many people think skiing is dangerous, most tend to be nonparticipants, or novices. Those who think skiing is more dangerous than golf, either haven't been around enough golfers, or hang with a dangerous ski crowd.... —EncMstr 21:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
