Daniel Poulsen was crusing the slopes at Snowbasin in Utah the other day and unfortunetely ran into a small child while avoiding another small kid who had veered into his path. While his first concern was of course the health of the kid he just hit, said kid's father was way more into getting into a heated argument (skipping to check if his kid was even all right I might add) which ended with his actually punching the kid in the head. I wonder what happened to the dad after this thing blew up?
"A snowboarder said he feared for his safety on the slopes during an altercation with an angry father. It happened after he accidentally collided with the man's son. Like almost everything these days, the entire thing was caught on video. "I was going down the hill about average speed," said Daniel Poulsen.
A camera mounted to his helmet showed him and friends heading down a run at Snowbasin when a small child on skis came into the frame from the left. "I was cut off by a girl and I was run in between an adult and her," he said. "I tried to just dodge in between them. A small boy came out from behind the adult to where I couldn't avoid hitting him." Poulsen said he immediately checked to make sure the boy was OK.
"As I was looking back up the hill, after I stopped sliding, the father of the boy came down and started yelling at me," Poulsen said. "He got in my face and started cussing at me. And then he punched me." The impact is audible on the video. Poulsen said the punch to his right temple left him with a headache and a bruise."
