<br/><br/> "A Denver newspaper ran a story...with the headline: 'Death toll grows on state's slopes.' Those in the ski industry acknowledge the headline's truth....But industry insiders say stories and headlines don't reveal the whole truth: The vast majority of deaths affected skiers or snowboarders who were in over their heads and out of control--'pilot error,' as one safety expert called it. They say the emphasis on the number--not the cause of skiers deaths--says much about Americans' growing distaste for risk and for taking responsibility for their actions." (GAZETTE) This article explains that "ski experts say even with the upward trend in ski deaths during the past decade, skiing is far less dangerous than many other sporting activities."
