What amazed me at first was that there is seemingly no decent barriers whatsoever other than the shallow mound of snow either side to make up the track, I thought wtf are they doing that for there on a mountainside but then realised its Russia of course, no surprise. Poor bloke had 2 kids and all :disappointed:
yikes :(
I know people say things like 'health and safety gone mad' over here... but surely some form of risk assessment or just common sense from the operators/managers of that resort would lead to the realisation that there is a massive cliff just to the side that they need to bear in mind before sending people down the mountain in an uncontrollable object.
