> Two teens on spring break were killed Sunday night in a sledding accident in a closed area of Copper Mountain Ski Resort in central Colorado.

They took an unapproved device to an unapproved route and experienced the reality of what "the worst" that can happen was. Their poor parents. Snow sports are already so dangerous, this was really bone-headed.

Dear kids who will go on future excursions unchaperoned: you are your brother's keeper. If you see/hear friends about to go do something extremely dangerous and stupid, try to stop them. Peer pressure works both ways. I sure hope there weren't a pile of teenagers waiting on them at the bottom, or at the top for their turns.

This shit happens all day, every day.

A 9th grader at my school with no license skipped with a group of friends after lunch, took his mom’s car without permission, drove around downtown like an absolute psycho to show off (only 1 of the 5 kids wore a seatbelt), and rear ended a utility truck that was doing line work in the middle of the road going 45 in a 25. Thankfully no one died, but 2 of the kids were hospitalized for a couple days (not the driver).

Kid got no consequences at home and acts like a completely smug prick every day.

Being near the bottom might have meant they landed on a relatively flat surface too, making the impact even harder.

That sounds like something out of a Portal game.
