Toti Kisses the Beach!

45 meters to shore - lots of room!

Toti looks for the path home

Mmmm - That's a nasty meter station there doncha think?

And, Toti comes to rest - just about made it to the tent!

Rodrigo (Toti) Miranda clipped the far bottom corner of the ramp throwing him off balance and he was heading for shore in the direction you see in the upper left photograph.  Eventually, he fell on the backs of his skis and seemed to pick up speed.  I am sure he could see that meter stand looming closer and closer.  His brother Francisco ran out to stop him but thought better as they both would have been injured!  Toti missed the meter stand but, when hit the shore, the brakes stood him up-right and his bindings keep him there.  Right to the top of the hill and almost into the skiers' tent....  The young senorita was introduced to Toti in a rather unusual way!!

Regarding the meter stand.... an Argentine fix was devised as per the following photo!
