But you seem to think that it is entirely proper behavior for you to be on the same slopes with thousands of reckless morons?
To me, that is reckless behavior.
Being in denial about the consequences of an event that will probably not happen isn't reckless.
Protective gear doesn't prevent the incident and if you're truly that concerned then perhaps you should avoid the slopes? The truth is that sport itself is the root of the deaths and injuries, not lack of protective gear.
That's a great point. Using a cross-walk instead of jaywalking doesn't prevent a person from being hit by a car. Eating a low-fat diet doesn't prevent heart attacks. Not smoking doesn't prevent lung cancer. Kevlar doesn't prevent soldiers from being shot. Wearing a seatbelt doesn't prevent an automobile accident. Being a good parent doesn't prevent your kid from making bad choices. Posting on FR doesn't prevent your IQ being lowered by reading mindless drivel.
You're a genius! Instead of posting here, you should be telling Obama and Geithner how to fix the world.
