Inevitably, no? The introduction of speed cameras on ski slopes.
Is the lightness of a handful of daring speed demons who have dirty fun for the rest of us? Or is health and safety gone mad again? Do we as human race become so irresponsible that we need that the nanny state to protect us from ourselves, even when we are trying to spend our hard earned money on vacation and have some fun?
Well, unfortunately the statistics are not good. With the high number of accidents, injuries and deaths in the ski resorts worldwide each year, it seems that something must be done. The number of skiing accidents has increased significantly only in Switzerland, accidents in the last tens of thousands, many years, serious injury of which were fatal or caused. The number of helicopter rescues also increased - to the tune of hundreds in just a month.
Thus, the Swiss have had enough and are putting speed cameras on the slopes. The resort staff will catch speeding with handheld radar devices. Those who are caught are given a first warning, and he could face a fine or confiscation of your ski pass. The cameras are in operation and will also be Andermatt operating in other major resorts like Davos, St. Moritz and Zermatt. Some may applaud to Switzerland to take a position - but this new trend in catches in the ski resorts around the world?
In a perfect world we would all be free to throw ourselves down the slopes and not having to worry about no more. Never had hurt or killed, or harm another innocent person. It is because we have that ability that anyone who embarks on a journey to ski without insurance travel and winter sports coverage should have their head testing. If you are not aware of the potential astronomical medical expenses associated with helicopter rescue, serious injuries and broken limbs (especially in North America), then it is time for a wake up call!
The tracks beautifully preparation may be partly to blame. It is hard to resist noting the board or boards down the hill and only in his favor. However, in crowded slopes that is simply not smart. There is no doubt that skiing and snowboarding and other winter activities can be very dangerous. If you have ever had an encounter with a tree or another skier and survive it will know what an impact it can be painful.
Just as on the roads, we can not always blame the people who drive at high speeds. It is possible they are fully competent and in control - even if they are breaking the law! The problem is often other people on the roads (or tracks). If you come up behind someone going slow on the road (or track) and they want to achieve is always potentially dangerous. You simply can not know what the other person will do. Also I do not know if another car is going to take a side street invisible (or tree), or a deer (or snow machine) suddenly appears in front of you.
Alcohol laws have taken almost all the drunks off our roads, but on the slopes can still be found with someone who has participated in a little Glühwein too much during your lunch stop. Nobody stops them strapping on skis or board and potentially endanger the lives of others. Then there are the beginners of skiing out of control on the slopes beyond their capabilities. Skiing in flat light can also be dangerous, no matter how experienced you are. You can not see all bumps and falls on the ground - or ice patches - and if struck at high speed may be heading for a tree or another skier, and there is nothing you can do to allow the impact to occur. It may be costly at best.
Tests with dummies have been carried out (as they do with cars). It was shown that speeds above 19 mph (30km / h) are not secure. Velocities well above that number is likely to cause fatalities if something goes wrong.
Thus that speed cameras on the slopes be a trend that is likely to spread worldwide in all ski resorts? For many will have all the fun, the excitement and thrill of it. Speedometers on skis Will be the next trend? How do we control our speed or have any idea how fast we? Will there be speed limit signs on the sides of the ski resorts we have to obey, and on the roads?
Speed is not the only danger when out skiing. This ski season twenty-six people have died in avalanches in Europe in less than a month! The average annual number killed in avalanches in the U.S. is about twenty-five, but often much higher. Other conditions related to hazards can not be ignored, such as storms snow and sudden changes in climate and conditions.
Who would have thought we'd see the day they put speed cameras on ski slopes. What next? Ski and winter sports insurance coverage is not mandatory, but perhaps should be ...
