The Darwin Principle!

this image screams at me "lemming mentality" and not any of The "Darwins
principles". Actually maybe the "principle of divergence" or perhaps the
"principle of natural selection" is what Dave was on about
ummm 4ft of powder and not a Brit to be seen!!

I'm sure you have a point to make, but unless you improve your
standard of written english then I for one won't be able to understand
it.

Was the snowboarder that jumped the one that got caught? Or did he only
trigger it?

From the text it seems as if the one that triggered it is the one that died.
Click through the pictures if you haven't, the explanations are quite
interesting.

Why don't you self select into doing something besides turning
someone's unpleasant death into troll material?

Ummm, ignorance is bliss! and an insurance policy will make backcountry
access so much safer for all concerned... chump, we do live in the txt

Great. Insurance companies decide what medical care I can get, when my roof
must be redone, whether my yard is neat enough. Now they'll decide if I can
go into the backcountry. This is progress.

The jumper was the one killed in the slide!

Which is why I suggested that requring rescue insurance might be a
reasonible compramise in your other thread, rather than getting into
the complexity of a skill standard and a liscense based on weither you
know how to use a beacon, probe, etc.

I'm failing to extract any meaningful content from your post above...
so I guess I really am a chump. Damn, you're so smart and clever, we
should all just listen to you make lemming jokes about avalanche
victems all day. This rocks. I luv tha intarnet!

Lemmings! having had an avalanche started above by a lemming in Tignes
i'm missing the joke, Jason. Insurance policys don't bring back the
dead. Try F7 in word and then copy and paste your post, we will then all
grasp what you're on about.
