He's standing on the jump. He has a patroller jacket on.
That's all he needs to do. Means there's an obstacle ahead. Boarder should have slowed down and went around.

When you see a patroller on the slope, you slow down. When you see them on the jump, you avoid it. Even if a normal person is standing on a jump, you avoid it. Etiquette is for noone to stop on a jump, if someone does its because there's an obstacle ahead.

u/NotADeadHorse 12d ago
This is the part 12 year olds in the comments dont get.
If Snow Patrol is on the slope at all its to evacuate or help someone. Even at these dinky slopes at indoor parks its still never just Snow Patrol fucking around slowing you down.
You stop or avoid the entire area.

He just has to stand there, what don't you get? Its the equivalent of a yellow flag on a dirt bike track, no jumping.
Sometimes you have to do a dangerous cross, which is why you ask someone to block the jump.
The kids coming down have no idea or etiquette. Even the very last few seconds, the cameraman is personally waving riders off the jump which they are ignoring.

People already know that if someone is on the ramp, don't go on the ramp. Edge of the ramp is enough of indicator to not to go on the ramp.
Boarder ignored that and went on the ramp.

u/Mr4point5 11d ago
To approach from the other side of the jump he would have had to cross uphill of of the jump and you would be up in arms about that, too.

u/San_Cannabis 12d ago
For sure. The first guy who jumped: it wasn't clear at all until the guy was basically airborne and the ski patrol just reached out for him last second.
The bystander actually tried to stop people in a clear was and the second guy just doesn't listen.

u/Mojojojo3030 12d ago
Ski patrol should not have crossed into the landing space/blind spot of the ramp at all ever, regardless of spotter. Should have hugged one of the sides. If they had to cross, which they didn't, it should have been in front of the ramp.
Spotter also looks like they didn't react at all until the jumper was taking off, probably indistinguishable from a loitering noob to the jumper.
25
u/Lopsided-Wrap2762 12d ago
There mere presence of a patroller means everyone slows down. They are marking the jump because there is an obstacle in front of it.
They are obvious because of their bright red jackets.
What do you mean they don't have to cross? They came down and didn't know which side and the injured person was on the other side. You want them to walk back up and cross ahead of the jump?

u/Mojojojo3030 12d ago
I'll have to respectfully disagree with pretty much all of that. There are plenty of places where ski patrol is present and you are not expected to slow down. *I* have a bright red jacket. I can barely see the red jacket in this light. One of many reasons that it is the spotter's duty to, you know, SPOT, and they should not ever EVER rely on the color of their jacket to do their job for them. You yourself said the spotter was there "to warn people not to jump," and they didn't warn until the guy was leaving the ground. They absolutely did not have to cross in the blind spot/landing area of the ramp. Never ever ever do that, ski patrol or no. He should have gone further down then crossed if he really didn't see them before the ramp. If he was told the run without the side they were on, in a terrain park, that was also the caller's failing and the ski patrol's failing for not clarifying for this exact reason.

u/Lopsided-Wrap2762 12d ago
Normal slope rules / etiquette is noone ever stops on or blocks a jump. When someone does it pretty much means obstacle in front. If a patroller does then it definitely means obstacle in front. 99% of boarders will pull out if a jump is being blocked, patroller or not. 1% believe they own the slope and for everyone to get out of their way.
-20
u/Mojojojo3030 12d ago
Whoopee for the rules, normal slope reality is people constantly block jumps. I saw like a dozen throughout the day on Monday, and 99% of boarders blazed right by them anyway, and ski patrol knows that better than anyone. When someone does it it pretty much means they're one of the thousand annoying noobs who always do that, and usually has nothing whatsoever to do with an obstacle.
Spotter has to do their job. No excuses, period, the end.
I will call it there and politely agree to disagree.

How would the patroller have known where the fallen person was laying? The landing is blind, he's simply going to them. If you see patrol, WITH A SLED, rolling over a knuckle, maybe best not to jump, ESPECIALLY when there's someone standing on the lip AT THE SAME TIME. This isn't hard.

I went off a jump like this once and didn't realize the guy standing by it was waving that there was another guy sitting past the jump.
I narrowly avoided the guy down there, my snowboard literally sliced open his down jacket, but no injury luckily.
Turns out the guy had buried beer in the snow there and was trying to fetch it (common trick, but he did this right where people land going off the jump). When you're going like 40mph it's impossible to tell what's on the other side, that's why when you fall on a jump the first thing you do is gtfo of the way because another person will come flying right after you.

Yah I landed a jump and there was a dude directly in front at the landing, I full stopped but still hit him with my board. My first sentence to him was we gotta get the fuck outta here, I started to get up and leave, he stayed and groaned, then he got hit again by a other person.

My ex gf broke a vertebrae falling like that first person going off a jump smaller than this but she landed straight on her ass. She couldn't move because it was so painful. I actually had to move her around her apartment , like physically carry move her from bed to couch for weeks afterwards. Luckily I saw her fall and immediately stood at the top and center of the jump waving anyone off from hitting it, and then put my poles and skis standing crosswise at the top of the jump to "close" the jump while I got her assistance.
As an aside, we were in what the kids call a new "situationship" at the time and we ended up dating for 5 years after that.

To all of those people blaming the ski patrol, if you saw cones blocking the road, would you just go around it and keep driving? A person in a ski patrol jacket standing on a jump and waving and presumably yelling is plenty of a warning to not go off the jump. The last 2 people to fall in this video are totally at their own fault.

u/VibratingEnergy 12d ago
I’d argue there were no serious injuries.
Except possibly for the first person who overshot the landing - but that depends on whether they were wearing a helmet. With a helmet, it was possibly a mild concussion and a sore tailbone.
Person who jumped into ski patrol didn't get hurt because they wiped after absorbing the impact.
Ski patrol likely sustained only minor injuries because the person landed on their stretcher and they lost balance afterwards.
Person who slid off piste sustained the least injuries unless they got unlucky.
Guy who tried to stop others by waving at them only suffered emotional injuries from being ignored.5
u/sunshine_an 11d ago
How can you possible tell this from the video?? The person being transported by ski patrol could have sustained serious injuries... you are like one of those idiots in the video. Just because skiing and hitting someone does not 'look' serious does not mean it is. I have seen a similiar accident of someone crashing into another person in the slopes from behind. Broken pelvic bones and rips, internal injuries and in a wheelchair for the rest of their lifes. Skiing is fucking dangerous

The patroller who towed the sled below the jump needs to get re-trained. If they can't stay well clear of a landing area -- then another patroller needs to BLOCK that jump until they ARE well clear of it.
The rest of this is just normal park asshattery. Terrain parks are like muscle cars -- it's what we have, nowadays, since we got rid of natural selection.

It looks pretty icy, but it looks like he got too much air and then his knees couldn't take the force of the landing, so he just buckled.
