Thats right Tony. I remember when I was learning to ski, doing the snow plough. Thought I was doing quite well, the instructor shouting, "snow plough!!!", to which I responded, "I bl**dy am!!!"

"NO, behind you!!!!"

:oops:

Rightly or wrongly, still stand by my original post. Unless an official is present, no one is getting my details.

Next time I fall over in the lift queue should I get everyone's details???

Like the point about the pencil - pun intended!

I am sticking with the most sensible smartski rules :thumbup:

I think we are in danger if over complicating things.

1. Simple clash by accident. Can't see the point in exchanging details. I certainly won't

2. Incident like smartski, as above

3. Serious incident that involves blood wagons etc- I will give to the relevant authorities. I guess this is what the fis ruling is relating to?

I imagine proving anything will be very difficult or even impossible.

Can you imagine the difficulty of proving negligence on the slopes? Do you also stop witnesses?

Later in you find your ski are trashed, where is it going to get you phoning me? You have insurance for that. It's not like we are driving?

Later on you find that bruise on your hip is actually a fracture, and even with insurance you are going to be out of pocket big time.

There may be criminal repercussions for leaving the scene of an injurious accident.

Not sure about the last part if your statement, is this more likely in the litigation keen opposite side of the Atlantic? 'Where's there's blame there's a claim...'

In Europe I have never seen such warnings, I am sure if there was a chance of that there would be warnings.

I would never give out details, it presents an.opportunity for people to hunt you down

Until it becomes law, like driving, I will never be doing it.

Well......
