Skiers Ignored The Warning Signs
IllustrationStory★★★★One winter a resort in Breckenridge, Colorado, posted signs instructing skiers to keep off
a certain slope. The signs, large and distinct, said, “DANGER! OUT OF BOUNDS!” In
spite of the warnings, however, several skiers went into the area. The result? A half-mile-
wide avalanche buried four of the trespassers beneath tons of snow and rock. This
tragedy never would have happened if the signs had been heeded.

The point
A ski resort posted clear danger signs warning against an out-of-bounds slope, yet skiers ignored them and were buried in an avalanche—illustrating that warning and law protect when obeyed.
