Trencher - I kind of know what you're saying, but after being taken out on my last trip in January by a 50+ year old Italian skier who cut across the front of me at speed without looking upslope and despite me being a good 6-7m away from him, I do disagree slightly; bad slope etiquette
is bad slope etiquette whether done by a skier or snowboarder
Reasoning is supposed to be fully developed by the age of 27, But blissful ignorance can be a life long affliction :wink:
I don't think the original question can really be answered, because it depends on the person, not the statistics. The injuries I fear, would be common to both snowboards, and skis. Losing an edge and sliding into a hard object, hitting a rut, or soft snow causing a catapult type fall, or a collision with another person. These are the things I worry about, and it doesn't matter what tool I'm sliding on.
