So your icy-hillside slip doesn't terminate under the wheels of a snowplough.

       I assume this is not a problem encountered by badgers.   

       It does, of course, beg the question as to why you wouldn't put the crampons on your feet and avoid the sip in the first place.   

       And the results of wearing your arse crampons inside out..... Ow!

       I was scared to read what this idea was about. It is one of the rare occasions on the bakery when my fears have been unfounded.   

       As to the idea, with the addition of some padding, it would be particularly good for learning to snowboard.

       Why yould you want a device to stop snowboarders having their life //terminate under the wheels of a snowplough. // ?

       Yeah, so you try getting ripstop nylon out of a gearbox when it's 40 below.

       It's the price you pay for doing an important and popular public service, a form of upmarket vermin destruction.

       snowboarders = skier roadblocks.

       Are we talking four-inch-long-spike crampons, or something that might actually be safe to use? I would fear landing with a foot or hand under my arse after a bad tumble.   

       Not to mention blocking the world's view of the magnificence that is my backside, and injuring those who just can't stop themselves from touching.

       thinkin' rhinestone studs for when you start that slow but not slow enough slide... decorative too.

       The sun shines out of some arses. As long as it is powerful enough, it should melt the ice.

       Now there is a thought, the crampons could feature a well-placed lens to concentrate and direct the beam of rectal illumination onto the ice, performing a public service by simple combination of smuggery and crampon.
calum, Dec 08 2010
  

       // direct the beam of rectal illumination //   

       That model will undoubtably sell well in france.

       Could have done with some of these today. Treacherous!
