"Snowboarder in Italien nach Zusammenstoss mit Skifahrer gestorben" BELLUNO - A 38 year-old snowboarder died after a collision with a skier in the Dolomites. The skier left the injured snowboarder lying in the snow without offering any assistance. The snowboarder was rammed by the skier who was travelling at a very high speed. I find this a bit like the fairly frequent "biker down" threads on ukrm. I mean, was it anybody I know, or you know? If not, what's the big deal? I mean, it's not _that_ unusual an occurence. I suppose, like the biker threads, it's a bit like the, 'if not for the grace of god' thing. I'd just like to think that if somone wiped me out they'd stop to check if they could do anything to help.
