Awful. Awful for the kid, awful for the driver.

I hate groomers on the slope - we've had a couple broken down (burst
hydraulic hoses) and ribbon-fenced, but that fencing wouldn't stop
anyone form running into the machine if they lost control. At least
they're orange, not wood-colored; wood-colored seems to attract crashes.

Hope the kid recovers and goes on to become a dedicated skier, but
that's a longshot.
