Debrained on dry ski slope
2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance
Four students in Cardiff (UK) decided to take up snowbording, however having little or no cash to do so our heros decided to a little braking and entering on the fairwater ski center.
Also having no money for ski lessions ment no money for a proper snowboard, however whith some quick thinking our likely lot did manage to get a couple of white marker boards normally used for writing messages on in classrooms, and not for charging down hillsides with but that didn't stop this lot.
At 3:30AM in the morning the foursome got over the fence and two of the four took the extream and short whitenuckle whiteboard ride down the ski slope and into a fence. Sadly for the part of eveolution our friends just fell short of the grand Darwin award when there friends (who obvisoly had one brain cell more than they did)called for help. One was seriously hurt the other ended up in a critcal state with head injuries (probally saved by a thick skull no doublt).
The ski centers boss Ceri Downie said: "We close at 9:45. They must have got over a fence. It was probally bravado. I dread to think of the speeds that they where doing".
I think its dreadful that these two are still swiming in the gene pool.
