Thank you!!
@Christy, did you see my post on FB? I ended up deleting it. I cited a friend of a friend who had his spine fractured this season when he was struck and left for dead, found by patrol and has filed a police report (I should find that) and when I brought that up, the response was anything but kind. I had asked, "what would you tell him? That the risks are there and too bad?" Then I was accused of exaggerating many things. I'm pretty mellow, but when I see injustices, I get MAD. Needless to say, I'm pretty mad right now!
So, yes, there is a difference between inherent risks and risks from people who don't respect the rules of the mountain. God forbid the mountain get a "black eye" for cracking down on unsafe practices by their patrons. Kind of like enforcing speed laws on the freeways. They are one in the same to me.
