After I had digested the first shock, I spontaneously had to think of some situations on the ski slope before. I was once drilled into it in a ski course: whoever crosses the slope looks up to see if a faster skier is coming. If you’re going fast, watch out for the beginners, because they don’t have eyes in the back of their heads and are busy with themselves. If everyone obeys these two rules, there are no avoidable collisions. I did the ski course in 1990 at the age of six – and have internalized the words to this day. Being considerate of one another, whether on skis or in a car, saves lives. Dear slow drivers: Please look behind you. You don’t have eyes in the back of your head. But you have mirrors.
