Ski accident
We have 1 m of crystalline, topped by 30-45 cm of powder in the mountains.
There was a horrible accident the other day. A guy in a Landrover got stuck and dragged his winch cable to a tree, straight across a piste (stupid bugger). A 12 y.o. kid went straight into the steel cable. His lower gut was totally devastated and two fractures of the spine. The poor kid, who did nothing wrong, is now condemned to a wheelchair for life and probably a bag to collect his waste.
I don't know what happened to the Landrover driver, but I hope the kid's family takes him for every penny he has and is likely to get in the future.
The mind boggles at what would have happened if he had been going a few km/h faster on his descent, probably cut in half.
