The last part of that is very disrespectful and appropriate.
Not sure how that is disrespectful, it's serious...

EDIT: Never mind, fixed it as it seems to offend a few people.

RIP anyway.

Not sure skiskee8 knows what he means. He did say "disrespectful" and
"appropriate" after all.

Not sure I see what's disrespectful about it either.

I'm pretty sure he meant "innapropriate", which it was.

She went off the side of the trail-the trails run out into very skinny cross-trails to get to different lift areas. The snow was very slow Saturday there, like the snow on St Patty's weekend here-from what I heard on the lifts, she looked behind her while turning onto one of the skinny trails and went off into the trees.

Not to beat this to death and maybe I'm getting insensitive in my old age but I'm just not seeing what the problem is. His statement merely speaks to his opinion on the uselessness of helmets in collisions with trees. Nothing else. What in the world is inappropriate about that?

Idk either, but I removed it anyway (don't really like offending people, and not an issue that is a big deal to me)....back to topic, although there really isn't a whole lot to talk about here.
