I'm not trying to question authority or anything, but I don't really understand what all the fuss is about the sledding. I mean, maybe I just don't understand something because I'm muggleborn, but quidditch seems just as dangerous? I mean, you're way up high on brooms jostling each other, and there are two iron balls enchanted to attack you and try to knock you off your broom. People get hurt plenty at that, right? And there were broken bones and concussions from hockey the other day, too.

And I get that there was underage drinking, and people were hurt and there was no healer on hand, but if people do this every year anyway, why don't they just turn it into a school sanctioned event? Staff being there would keep people from drinking, and Mufferaw could be there to fix any injuries.

~~Or is it just that we're only allowed to endanger ourselves for sports? You're allowed to get a concussion as long as it's something you can win at?~~

	Thank you, Katya. I was starting to think maybe I was just nuts for thinking sledding wasn't so bad compared to everything else that happens here. And I know half the people that are being nice are just going to talk about me behind my back anyway and say, "Wow, what a whiny moron, right? Lol." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No I don't think you are nuts for thinking sledding isn't so bad. We have two sports here that can easily hurt someone really badly and it seems to be just fine with teachers after some rules and guidelines. There is no reason this can't be done with sledding too.

	That's what I think too! And I know prefects have to enforce the rules, and I'm not upset they enforce them, it's just the attitude that this was SO DANGEROUS. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No one has died yet and no one has to if they were just smart about all of this. Sometime people just need to adapt to how things work and refuse to. (Reply to this) (Parent)
