On the other hand, the damage done was apparently severe - the woman is tragically unable to ski! Kinda sounds like she already had that problem. Does the "responsibility code" in Europe not include " People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them"? |

It is your responsibility to avoid them"? The wording is a bit different on that side of the pond. They use the FIS RULES FOR SAFETY IN WINTER SPORT CENTRES: http://www.fis-ski.com/mm/Document/d...CI_Neutral.pdf But the ideas are pretty much the same. Looks like the woman broke rules 3 and 4 in clobbering that kid. Hard to believe it hasn't been thrown out of court already, but I know nothing about Austrian law. I. Rules for the Conduct of Skiers and Snowboarders(Wording 2002) 1. Respect for others A skier or snowboarder must behave in such a way that he does not endanger or prejudice others. 2. Control of speed and skiing or snowboarding A skier or snowboarder must move in control. He must adapt his speed and manner of skiing or snowboarding to his personal ability and to the prevailing conditions of terrain, snow and weather as well as to the density of traffic. 3. Choice of route A skier or snowboarder coming from behind must choose his route in such a way that he does not endanger skiers or snowboarders ahead. 4. Overtaking A skier or snowboarder may overtake another skier or snowboarder above or below and to the right or to the left provided that he leaves enough space for the overtaken skier or snowboarder to make any voluntary or involuntary movement. 5. Entering, starting and moving upwards A skier or snowboarder entering a marked run, starting again after stopping or moving upwards on the slopes must look up and down the slopes that he can do so without endangering himself or others. 6. Stopping on the piste Unless absolutely necessary, a skier or snowboarder must avoid stopping on the piste in narrow places or where visibility is restricted. After a fall in such a place, a skier or snowboarder must move clear of the piste as soon as possible. 7. Climbing and descending on foot A skier or snowboarder either climbing or descending on foot must keep to the side of the piste. 8.Respect for signs and markings A skier or snowboarder must respect all signs and markings. 9. Assistance At accidents, every skier or snowboarder is duty bound to assist. 10. Identification Every skier or snowboarder and witness, whether a responsible party or not, must exchange names and addresses following an accident. -- //Walt |
