Is there any freedom that the nanny staters would not be willing to give up in the name of safety?

Last year I could get info on was 1997: 26 deaths vs 54,000,000 skier-visits.
Miniscule risk shows it's just another power grab.

From the article:
“A report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission notes that head injuries account for 14 percent of skiing and snowboarding accidents, as well as 56 percent of related deaths.”
So......44% of deaths are not related to head injuries, therefore, in Nanny-eze, Skiing should be banned entirely.
Apparently there is no safe level of skiing and even a well ventilated helmet will not protect against skiing injuries.

It’s a miracle that we all survived so long on this planet skiing and riding bikes without helmets. What would we do without Gubmint.
How do they plan on enforcing this? Taser any kid on a bike without a helmet?
