News that a schoolboy is being held by police in connection with a
hit-and-run ski death at an Italian resort, shows how inherent the
dangers are on the slopes.
This is a very tragic accident that, though still a rare occurrence,
is not an isolated event and resorts in Switzerland and Austria now
have speed patrols to take action against the â??boy racersâ?? and
â??speed merchantsâ?? who endanger others by their actions.
Other countries will follow suit as this trend increases. But alarm
bells should be ringing here, not just against the rise in the accident
rate on the slopes, but that recent surveys still show a high number of
people going abroad without any , it
does seem to be an unnecessary risk to take. It is not necessary to pay
through the nose these days and if you are prepared to surf the net
then there some excellent deals to be had.
