Kenny Salvini ruins skiing

Couldn't find the site while posting that but I just found it. Says he flew about 110 feet through the air. From reading this article, it seems to me that this kid bombed a jump and rolled down the windows as he realized he had WAY WAY WAY to much speed. I'm going to take a guess and say this jump was not a 110 foot table, and if it was he was obviously way out of his league.

ok, this occurred at my home mountain. i was there the day that the accident happened, and most likely missed seeing it by 2 min.

my official statement: the accident was entirely his own fault.

the second you get off the lift to enter the park, there is a billboard around 8ft x 4ft. the entire billboard is covered with safety tips, and liability awareness.

to clear the jump he hit, you need to start from about 35 yards uphill. from what i heard, he started from the very top of the park, about 200-250 yards uphill.

when i saw him on the ground, he was about 100 yards past the landing. even with a tremendous amount of sliding, he would never have been there if he had not overshot at least half of that.


i understand, the kid has medical bills beyond comprehension, but to sue the resort to get that money, claiming negligence is irresponsibility at it's finest.

If that's true, it's entirely the kid's fault. He had no idea wtf he was doing

how old is, "this kid" may i ask?

i dont think i've ever been told

I think he was 24 when this happened, not really a kid, but still an idiot.

Hey its not so bad, they can't take away cliffs and pow can they?

I like the positive attitude for a change.


But sorry to burst your bubble... but they can. They could fence them all off.

ya dude, who the fuck does that?
