unfortunately, there are riders out there like that. i would chalk it up to inexperience in what can happen, and what to do if it does happen. "a few too many" on the hill fuel some stupid decisions as well.
i was at forester a few years back. one dude out of a group at the bottom says "hold my beer" and up the wall he goes. he somehow managed to catwalk his sled over and on top of him. no movement from him. none of his buddies move. i said, someone should check on him. they said, and i quote " no problem he'll be alright"
i blast up, get close, sees hes bleeding, shoot down tell his group to send a call out as hes not gonna be alright. get back up with a couple other sleds. get some covers on his head(bleeding). he says he has sever back pain, but is moving.
get him to the base of the wall and same type of bizzarro world conversation. "well now what, we cant double him out" eventually one of his group agreed.
they were not from a mountain province, all ill say, but WTF people.
dude got choppered out from the cabin, throwing up, concussion, et.
so yes Virginia, some people really are that stupid. ive seen it first hand.
