Reply to comment by Johnny_Appleweed in 2 Illinois teens on spring break killed in a sledding accident at Colorado's Copper Mountain | CNN by Lampwickhu

If they went down a half pipe in a sled or tube, that's pretty insane. It wouldn't have been a question of being there at the appropriate time as any time would be inappropriate to do so.

You can zig-zag to slow your travel downhill, even while still going fast across the hill, on skies and a snowboard. You can't really do that very easily on a sled or tube.

Yeah, that’s true, there’s no safe time to do that. I was more thinking that during regular hours there might have been someone to stop them.
