If you're going to be that aggressive about protecting your 2 yr. old kid, maybe you should bring them to a playground instead of a potentially deadly place like a ski area.Quote:

The guy beat up an underage girl. Does it not go without saying that the guy is less than civil/desirable? This thread is stupid.
I doubt the snowboarder in question intended to take out your kid. Actually, I find that so unlikely as to be totally ludicrous. Accidents happen on the ski hill and when you take your kid to the hill you have to be aware that an accident may happen that involves them.Quote:

Personally I think the type of father who beats up people in front of their child deserves to bail that child out of jail when they've been arrested for assault at 16, following dad's example.

I think you should have sat him down and given him a tounge-lashing. If you really think he intended to hurt your son then you should have called the cops and charged him with assault.Quote:

Guess what - vigilanteism is illegal, I don't care what happened. I'm not a parent, and I'm glad I'm not if it means your brains get left in the pan with the umbilical cord.
Wow. This thread sucks. That guy is purely psycho, but I will admit the closest I've ever come to completely losing it is when some jackass at the airport knocked his bag over onto my daughter in her stroller. He was chatting on his cell phone, not paying attention and dropped his bag next to us. It instantly fell over and the handle to pull the bag with hit her square in the face pretty damn hard (8 months old). She instantly started balling.
He came over and tried to apologize. I told him: "I understand it was an accident, but you need to get away from us right now." The Airline employee who watched the scene was ready to hit him too.
I remember standing in line to see Empire Strikes Back, I was waiting for my dad while he parked, some asshole behind me pushed me aside to get in front of me, my Dad saw it and cold cocked the guy. I am 34 now and I still have not been jail.
I never knew just how rude and inconsiderate most people are, until I had kids. That being said, it is my responsibility to keep my kids out of harms way.
No, that's my job.Quote:

This story is the first reasonable example of why kids should wear ski helmets
(even at 16 there not safe)
BloodSweatSteel, that little certificate picture is awesome, but I'm wondering, how did you get a scan of it unless you are in fact Jim Winstead?
Also, for some reason, whenever I read your name, I see BloodSweatWeasel.

There are accidents on the slopes and then there is reckless endangerment. At least in Southern California (and I suspect this is true in the midwest, and some areas in the East) there are large crowds and many skiers and snowboarders that are way beyond out of control. Out of control is when you miss a turn and get going a bit fast, or when you bump someone on a crowded slope because you both turned at the same time. Reckless endangerment is when you deliberately go straight down a steep face, without beieng able to turn and then skid to a stop at the bottom, or when you race your friends down a green run, even though none of you are able to make quick turns.
After seeing enough people taken out by idiots that are deliberately out of control, you start to get scared. I have numerous friends that have lost seasons due to reckless skiing and riding. The scariest thing I have ever seen was a skier slowly traversing across the mountain who was hit by a snowboarder going straight down. You could see the accident coming a good 200 feet before the actual impact. The boarder made absolutely no effort to avoid the skier, and plowed into him moving at least 30 mph. The victim was knocked out cold simply because he had the audacity to attempt a slow, predictable traverse.
I am no longer comfortable skiing at our mountain on weekends, because I know it's only a matter of time before I'm the victim of this random violence. This fear makes me behave in somewhat irrational ways. I've started to take close calls personally, and have come close to picking a couple of fights.
I'm not saying that what this guy did was right, but I am saying that it is understandable. Maybe he just saw one reckless idiot too many and couldn't take it anymore (although I find this diffcult to believe since he live in CO). When people are frightened, they behave in an irrational manner.
Many facts that we all dont know.
The Reported story doesnt quote the father which it
should have to be un-biasis
Did the girl lip off, before there were wittnesses?
Was the 7 year old hurt and srying like she was dying?
Sounds like the accident happened near the bottom thus
a slow sking area, how fast was the girl going?
How many 16 year olds actually look 16?
punching in the back of the head??? although violent maybe
was it punch or hard pushing?
As a parent could you control your rage?
Maybe you should stay away from your kid.Quote:

From my perspective, there is too much violence in the world and the ski hill should be one of the places where we can engage in the kind of physical outlets that will tame the beast inside. Not feed it.
I've had some people take out my kids on the hill - crowded slopes with too many beginners on them. It is frustrating and I feel disgusted inside that these people suck so bad, but I'm not going to hit anybody. Ever. I thought we were all brought up to find other solutions to our anger and rage than violence. Am I wrong about that? Have things changed and somebody forgot to tell me?
Last Saturday another teacher and I were both skiing backwards, running our classes through some turns and smacked into each other, ass to ass, and both went down. I almost killed her for touching me, but the kids started laughing uncontrollably, so I got over it. :fm:
There are a lot of people skiing really fast on the green runs and disregarding the slow signs on the rollovers and stuff like that. Those green runs have a ton of gapers on them trying to figure out our crazy sport so everybody please keep that in mind and cut the gapers some slack and give them the space they need.
Agreed as a parent of a 7yo girl I can't say what would do but that being said this is what I readQuote:

The teenager told police she ran over Berg's 7-year-old daughter with her snowboard. Berg saw his daughter on the ground.
The snowboarder was able to descend to the bottom of the mountain and walked away without serious injury.
Berg was taken to Routt County Jail and booked on charges of third-degree assault and disorderly conduct. He was released Monday on $1,000 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Routt County Court on Feb. 14.
The accident occurred near the base of the ski mountain, where Steamboat Springs police have jurisdiction.
Rae said he has never heard of such an incident.
"There are fights and misunderstandings, but never have I seen anything with that kind of rage in my law enforcement career," the captain said.
Good thing the snowboarder is ok. In other news 7yo girl still in a coma after being taken out by a Teenager on a snowboard at Steamboat she may recover and get to be a teenager herself.
Nicely said, SheRa.Quote:

I understand his rage, certainly. Any parent does.
What I don't understand is going after the perp rather than going to help his kid.
The 16-year-old was trying to apologize, not escape, so it wasn't a case of pursuit in the interest of justice gone horribly wrong. This guy saw his kid taken out, presumably at least potentially seriously injured, and he was apparently more worried about meting out vigilante justice than helping his own daughter.
Under no circumstances can I, as a parent, condone this guy's actions towards either girl.
You are a much better person then I am because I'm not sure what I would. But I would say that after see said snowboarder was a young girl I would want to speak with her dad.Quote:

On the protecting your kids front... God help any middle aged bag of shit who thinks he's going to hit my teenage daughter.
