Unfortunately this happens every year, be careful on the slopes guys!
There has been less than one death for every million ski-lift tickets sold in the last decade in the United States. By contrast, the National Safety Council reports that in 1995, the fatality rate for bicycling was 7.1 per million days spent bicycling, and the drowning rate was 17 per million days spent in water sports.
''You are 10 times more likely to become a fatality statistic bicycling than skiing, 100 times more likely in water sports,'' said John Frew, president of Colorado Ski Country USA, a group that represents ski areas. Noting that 300 Americans die every year from falls in bathtubs, he said of skiing's critics: ''Maybe they should quit taking showers.''
