Death at Cannon

[Funky_Catskills]

It HAD to be fatigue? He was alone, correct? If that's the case, we're not likely to know how the accident happened.

I thought it was because there was no fence?

True that.

He was texting and didn't SEE the fence.

My thoughts as well. Even an expert skier that isn't tired at all can still make a mistake or catch an edge, hit a patch of ice, etc. We can speculate all we want, but that's all it will ever be...speculation.

[Funky_Catskills]

Your evidence for this statement?

No evidence.. sorry...

I just know that ski areas monitor this site... If I was PR at Cannon... i wouldn't be stoked to see this thread...

Why?

 

[Funky_Catskills]

Why?

Just my opinion..

But Ski areas and deaths that occur there are bad public relations...

Really not trying to piss anybody off - just stating something..

 

[gmcunni]

No evidence.. sorry...

so what you are saying is . . . wait for it. . . .

Total speculation..

:wink:

No really just my opinion based upon observation..

 

[Funky_Catskills]

Do you actually work for Cannon? Why would you care about their PR when a person died on their mountain and we are discussing safety. Perhaps you're the guy that would have to maintain the fencing and that's why you don't want to install it? Too much work?

Back off bro..
These are just my observations.

I know for a fact that Alpine Zone is monitored by ski areas...
I know for a fact that PR people do not like deaths associated with their ski areas...

My opinion is - that fences are ugly and maybe theres a better way...

You really need to back off... Thanks...

It's part of the job. Not everyday will be about thousands of people having a good time in the snow. Sometimes tragedies happen, so people naturally want to know why it happened and how a similar event can be prevented in the future. If you work in PR and aren't prepared to deal with such matters, you're in the wrong job.

What are the other ways ??

Fences may be ugly but death is way more ugly.
Safety first in my opinion. Not asthetics
