| Sure you are right. People are the leading causes of serious accidents. This is why I like to stay off the slopes. To avoid other people.
It boils down to two things, lack of awareness and lack of control.
The worst are those that are quite proficient (novices tend to have minor accidents) and happily bomb down slopes without factoring in a margin of safety for other people. | |

I also agree, particularly the bit about lack of awareness. Skiing on blues and reds is a dangerous game, with a lot of people skiing considerably faster than their abilities and not able to think or act quick enough when others do something unpredictable.
