Did you read the article? It said the teen girl was trying to avoid another skier, not that she was out looking for toddlers to run over.

Then she was skiing too fast. There's no excuse for running into a child on the bunny slope.

Have you ever been skiing?

I ski between 10 - 14 days per year.

It’s not a place for small children.

This was a bunny slope, which most definitely is a place appropriate for small children.

Okay then, you actually think there is an appropriate time for an adult male to clinch his fist and hit a fourteen year old girl in the face two to four times, when she represents no further threat to him or his children.

Just for the record, I don't.

If this guy connected even one of those punches, he deserves prison time.

Then she was skiing too fast. There's no excuse for running into a child on the bunny slope.

But we can certainly see excuses aplenty for the adult here hitting a 14 year old girl in the face with his fist, can't we. /s

Get real.

While I don't know where (or even if) you ski, when I skied years ago, there was a huge difference between a "bunny slope" and a "beginner run". Bunny slopes are appropriate for 4-year-olds; beginner slopes are not.

From the first article linked in a post above:

...had been skiing on a beginner run

How do you know she was skiing too fast on the bunny slope? Do you know what the bunny slope is for? It's for beginner skiers who do not know how to control their skis...............That's why they have "bunny slopes".

And for the record, that's where the most non-injury causing collisions occur.......
