Well, it's not completely wrong.
Was moving pretty quick and was going to squeeze by a group of folks probably 2-3 feet between them and the ropes on a cat gap. Just as I get to the back of the group, one old guy in the rear cuts off that alley-way. Severe brake jam, shear off a bamboo/rope section, and went down. But I didn't touch anyone, or even really get that close. I think the sound convinced the old man that I'd almost murdered him.
(I never call out that I'm passing. From a lot of experience skiing and otherwise, calling probably makes things worse at least 50% of the time. Just go, and be prepared to bail, if things go sideways.)
But yeah, passing on a cat track has its hazards.
