It's not the sliding that kills you. It's the sudden stopping.
Regards,
Saw that the other day at Crystal. Lady fell, slid about 100 yards, glanced into a tree, and came to a stop on a mogul. Took her 10 minutes to get up, brushed off, back on her skis and away.
Years ago I saw on YT the accident that killed Ulrike Maier, I never want to see that again.
