Some things are sort of intrinsically dynamic, and this can be scary but might have to be confronted. 1. Example 1: Snowboarding I've only been snowboarding twice, but a key lesson I had to learn / unlearn was that doing something more slowly, or in a way that's more stop-safe, is NOT necessarily safer. If there's a steep part of the hill, you have two options: You could go down it with the board facing fairly straight down, which makes you go really fast; Or, you could try to slow down by weaving back and forth. Going straight is scary because it's faster. But weaving is often MORE risky: if you catch the downhill edge of your board on the snow, you flip forward onto your face downhill, which SUCKS. Also, weaving takes more effort on your ankles / legs than going straight, which tires you out and makes it easier for you to lose control and flip. So trying to make it be the case that at any point you COULD stop immediately is NOT necessarily safer. Sometimes it...
