Vibes to John Coopers family.
hard to say the right thing when an Avy takes away a father.

so is the op suggesting abstaining from traveling in avvy terrain
or
abstaining from procreation?
cause that would be the only 2 sure way to avoid these tragedies.

Neither.
Instead, the OP is suggesting that watching those videos will have such a strong effect upon us fathers who enjoy skiing our kids that it help to keep us erring more on the side of caution.
