WTF is Davina McCall talking about?

This burned me up when I read it earlier today so much that I'm now trying to set up a campaign to get her to take back her idiotic statement.

The statement in question is this:

"If you think of anybody going away on a ski holiday for a week your chances of getting injured on that holiday are extremely high."

Oh dear.

Still, "Davina really knows what she's talking about", said no-one ever.

I'll just leave this here...

I want to know what she is doing on her skiing holidays.....

Naw guys, you have all got this wrong. DM, (whew, same initials, is she ever lucky) is spot on.

The evidence is plain for everyone to see. Just look at the first happy smily photo, and you will see her skis, the red ones, against the wall behind her.

Cable bindings, a wee bit dodgy if you ask me.

Well, OK, since you ask me, one hour into my first attempt at skiing, (Cairngorm, 50 years ago), I was in an ambulance on the way to Raigmore hospital, Inverness. Cable bindings. Ankle to thigh plaster, with crutches.

But you see, Davina McC, (is she even trying to copy the name???), we have moved on. Ski safety now lies somewhere between Over 80s Nudist Leapfrogging, and tiddlywinks.....

She is clearly getting ready to take her place on Channel 4's Bake Off show, where she intends to make a "Swiss Roll!"

Groan....

I would like to see Mary Berry doing The Jump.

LOL, I suspect that may well lead to a soggy bottom! :o

Perhaps she was confusion skiing holiday with "non-skiers going ski jumping"

The actuaries would suggest otherwise - winter sports doesn't attract a huge premium over regular travel insurance.

Celebrities making ill informed comments on matters they are not qualified to is a pain as it tends to reinforce prejudice and drive up the workload of those who have to bat off the inappropriate demands on service like health care that they generate.
