I had no idea how close the post was, you could reach out and touch it from the

I agree, it makes no sense whatsoever to have those things right there
when the possibility of leaving the track at any speed is clearly a
possibility. I was thinking that mesh fencing, but those posts are so
close you would need a hard barrier as you mention; although, skidding

I agree, skiing in general can be dangerous for folks young enough
to think they cannot be hurt. I wrapped my self around a large pine

A traumatic amputation of a limb is not as lethal as a clean cut off.
So I was told during EMT training about 30 years ago. The blood vessels
go into spasm and tend to close off.
That being said, I would assume any amputation of the upper leg to me
10% fatal unless you were immediately
