Only if you look at it through the lens of our humanity. If you look at it dispassionately, it makes sense as a species. We produce many offspring and they go act, many times for our benefits, even though they may not think of it as such, other times idiotically. Nature is cool with the outcomes, plenty of humans make it to old age, who cares if some die, got to make sure things get done, especially by the young who have the capacity, if not necessarily the common sense or experience, to do whatever it is.

Yeah, not sure how much experience this guy has with ski resorts. Lots of them rent tubes and sleds. Copper, where this happened, does in fact rent tubes.

But then they only allow you to ride them in specifically-designed courses under supervision of staff and during regular business hours.

The problem isn’t sleds per se, it’s that they used one in a place they weren’t supposed to after hours.
