    Another tragic story

    The irony in this story is almost hard to believe. Really tragic and she was pregnant? It makes me wonder about what is really worth it? Where do you draw the line? Maybe I'm getting old but I sure am glad I'm not trying to push things too far these days.

    Then again, you just never know. I guess when your number is up it is what it is. It can happen when you least expect it.

    Sad for sure, but I have to question the need to perform one last jump with a child in the womb. Little to be gained, lots to lose.

    This is sad. She shouldn't have jumped. I support my wife in anything she wants to do but if there is a child involved it would be different.

    I think after 600 successful jumps it might be easy to not think anything of it.

    I guess she should have just stayed in the kitchen and made sandwiches right? That would have been the proper thing for a pregnant woman to do.
    It's the internet and avalanches are like boobies. People like to look at them.

    I started to write a reply, and then erased it as any debate on this issue is fruitless. I can only hope that Wioletta weighed the pros and cons of her actions before making the jump and thought the consequences to be small, and therefore, not putting her unborn child at undo risk. Again, it's sad it happened. But as we all know, shit happens.

    Sorry doughboyshredder, I thought it was interesting and applicable enough to throw it into here. I'll make sure from now on to not do any crossover threads.

    controversial and has nothing to do with ski/snowboard.

    Padded Room if ever there was a thread for padded room.

    Also, do you jump?

    No, I would love to though. I did three three tandem skydives last winter and I was eager to continue my training but I also wanted to ski powder and buy a new mountain bike so with limited funds I had to cut off some plans. Maybe in the near future I'll get back after it but life at 37 seems to becoming more and more complicated. Do you?

    3 knee surgeries in the last year has kept me grounded, and now I don't know if I am going to get back in to it. It is amazing and everyone that does it knows the risks and accepts them.

    I pray before the door opens. For some reason that is one of the scariest parts of the whole process. That and sticking your head out and looking at the ground.

    Rip to the life(s) lost.
