That snowboarder should not have been on that slope. No way he should have let himself slide that far after falling. He also should have yelled at the guy once he realized he couldn't stop himself.

Right where I want to be
In this case and most it could have been skier vs skier or snowboarder vs snowboarder so what they have on their feet is not that main point. Usually it is asshole vs asshole plain and simple.

That slope doesn't look steep enough to slide like that. Must be the camera angle.

Wow, you still don't understand and you've had a lot of time to think about it. Amazing.

And you know what?

The snowboarder should have been able to stop or get back up. Seriously

More skier on snowboarder violence. Actually, that barely begins to describe it. Apparently the guy's lawyer is claiming that punching the kid in the mouth and hitting him with a ski pole was more in the nature of an accident!

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/02/17/ski-rage-assault-charges/

VERNON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — An attorney was defending a New Jersey doctor Wednesday, after police alleged the doctor attacked a 12-year-old boy on a ski slope.

As CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported, the doctor allegedly went into “ski rage” when the boy bumped into him and his son.

It can get a bit snarled as skiers and snowboarders of various skill levels compete for space, and on Valentine’s Day at Mountain Creek in Vernon, New Jersey, it allegedly got downright ugly.

Dr. Samuel Caruthers, a Morris County anesthesiologist, is charged with assaulting a young snowboarder.

“Mr. Caruthers was run into by the 12-year-old snowboarder,” said Vernon police Lt. Keith Kimkowki. “He then went ahead and committed an assault on him.”

Vernon police were told it started as Caruthers went skiing with his own son. There was some kind of collision with the snowboarder, and then the alleged assault happened, police said.

Caruthers is accused of punching the boy in the mouth, and police alleged it got even worse from there.

”At some point he struck him with his – the report was that he struck him with a ski pole,” Kimkowski said. “There were some visible signs of injury, some complaint of pain. He had some blood on his nose.”

Caruthers, 44, was charged with aggravated assault and endangering the welfare of a child.

At his home in Mountain Lakes, Caruthers’ wife refused to comment. But she told CBS2’s Meg Baker that her own 12-year-old son was injured in the collision with the snowboarder and needed medical attention.

Caruthers’ attorney put out a statement: “My client had no intention of causing any harm to this young man. It was more in the nature of an accident. My client is sorry for any misunderstanding.”

good point. I guess the kid should be glad that the ski patrol didn't pile on!

Shit happens. No matter who's fault it is, always be courteous and make sure your fellow human is alright and not injured.

This is a classic. The douchebaggery makes me laugh. The Dad and his friend are real asshats. Love the ending.

I know that we have discussed it here. This almost seems "too" good and you can almost hear everyone perfectly. Based upon that, I know some of us thought that this might have been staged.
