Disappearance of Gaspard Ulliel: How many fatal accidents each year on the slopes?
The tragic accident that actor Gaspard Ulliel was victimized painfully recalls that ski slopes can be particularly dangerous, in certain circumstances.Several dead occur every year.
According to the Skiors of France, which represents professionals in the sector, about fifteen deaths are to be deplored each year.The number of interventions on the slopes for accidents is around 50.000, with an average wounded each time.
Referred to the 8 million people who practice skiing or surfing, statistics are minimal, but each case is to be deplored.
Rules to respect on the tracks
It is therefore important to recall that rules exist on the tracks: the person being upstream (the lowest) always has the priority on that arriving from the downstream (from above), a turn should notCarry out in the immediate vicinity of another skier (in order to avoid being surprised if it changes its trajectory), a track should never be cut in its width to stop or branch off, parking is done on one sideAnd never under a break in a slope (a descending skier can not see what is behind), the headphones are strongly not recommended or the speed is to be controlled by approaching an intersection, in order to be able to control that anotherskier is not likely to get into it in it.
Finally, if wearing helmet is compulsory only during ski lessons for children, this protection is largely recommended for all and all the time.
