Safety vs. Responsibility

No Helmet, No Ski Lesson!

Our protagonist invited their cousin and his girlfriend for a ski lesson at a top-notch ski resort. Despite having minimal experience and expressing concerns about skiing being dangerous, the couple showed up without helmets and ski pants. They argued that helmets made them look dorky, and they wanted to take photos. Our protagonist stood their ground, refusing to teach them without proper safety gear. ⛔ After an hour-long argument, the couple didn’t ski or participate in any other activities, leaving our protagonist feeling guilty. Should they have taught the couple despite their refusal to wear helmets, or was it right to prioritize safety over fun? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
