    He hit the pole; the pole didn’t hit him. Sorry for your loss. Hopefully your attorney can find some other liability that isn’t apparent right now.

    Im very sorry this happened… but accidents do happen. Im just sick and tired of zero responsibility taken by ppl. Seriously, we are blaming inanimate objects?!? My heart breaks for his children. I hope this woman chooses to celebrate his life and the fact that he was privileged enough to be able to ski/snowboard often. He lived and died, it seems, doing what he loved. Its not the poles fault.

      Thinking of The Sopranos episode where a mobster heads out for a jog. His wife is screaming at him and he tells her take a Midol. Calling each other terrible hateful cruel names, very ugly. Then, after he’s murdered on the jog, the weeping widow is interviewed on TV news tearfully recalling that his last words to her before leaving the house that fateful day were, “I love you.” 😬

    A very sad situation and my condolences to his family. I was just at Mountain High yesterday and there is no shortage of people going too fast even on beginner runs unfortunately. There is no way to be totally safe in most sports so it is up to all of us to use good judgement. The padding is meant to give some minimal level of protection but can't help when going way too fast. The trees don't have padding and can be just as dangerous. It is natural in a tragedy to look for someone to blame but I hope this family can get past that and find some level of peace. I'm old and am losing family and friends too (including from the vaccine). Try to focus on your memories and all the good things of your lives together when you can. RIP young man.

    This is very sad and the woman is very angry. I do agree. I guess that the ski companies should have the polls wrapped much higher because at the height there at the snow does completely cover the padding, but it doesn’t cover the pole and if you accidentally smash into there, you’re in trouble. I believe that this woman will sue the company and she will get a settlement and maybe they will change the padding to make it higher
