from the name of the group, I'd think that they would do a lot to minimise the number that were directly attributed to skiing -- nm - zork Mar 18, 08:17 1
- quite possible. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:17

    - bah, that data point isn't even in the article I read. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:10 5
      - (If I had quizzed on the percentage of helmet use, you'd have a point there) -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:12 4
        
        It's also worth pointing out that according to the site, fatalities in skiing are relatively more common than fatalities riding a bike -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 18, 08:13 3
        
        but only half as common as swimming fatalities. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:13 2
        
        yep - but wearing a helmet while swimming? Not so flash -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 18, 08:15 1
        
        I was thinking scuba gear, just in case. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:17
Less than 50 a year is my guess. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 18, 08:04
where? -- nm - marcel Mar 18, 08:04 6
- unsure, might be just US, but the source I'm looking at doesn't clarify. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:05 5
  - If it's 'National Ski Areas', it's probably US only -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 18, 08:06 4
    - could be Canada -- nm - marcel Mar 18, 08:08
    - that would be my assumption. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:07 2
      - and I love that their trade association meeting is in florida. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 08:11 1
        
        on an island -- nm - The Quiet Roger More Mar 18, 08:12
312.50 -- nm - TaurusII Mar 18, 08:03
