I’m back from my holidays (which did not include any skiing) to report on a survey from iShare on the dangers of skiing.
Demographics
Over the 30th of November and the 1st of December 2010 1,476 members of the CLUB BBQ free email forwarding service completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 62.7% of the sample were male, 20.0% in their twenties, 24.5% in their thirties, 31.1% in their forties, and 24.4% in their fifties. Note that the ski season would have barely started in Japan at the time of the survey, and only a few remote locations would have been open.
I was a bit disappointed that there wasn’t a question about skiing overseas; although the skiing in Japan is very good, I would have liked to know how many people had gone on foreign skiing holidays.
