My dad says skiing will hurt his back. I've been skiing before ,but he hasn't How can I convince him to go?

Question

I told him that he won't feel it tomorrow but he doesn't believe me. He has never been before yet I have. He just won't listen!

Answer 1

He's a grown man and he doesn't have to ski if he doesn't want to.  And since he's probably the one who'd be paying for a ski trip, he gets to make the call.

Answer 2

don't make him go. i did the same thing with my sister about ice skating...she swore she would hurt herself, i assured her she wouldn't 'cause i'd done it almost everyday for years - sure enough, she fell and hurt her back.

had to call the ambulance and everything.

<smh> lol.

Answer 3

If your Dad is out of shape , he will hurt his back, legs, and arms. Try to get him to exercise by walking , then try taking him on the bunny slope together!

Answer 4

He doesn't want to go.  If it were something else, I'd say try to get him to go.  Skiing is SO dangerous, I've been there.  I was doing GREAT on my first try, then I fell.  I'll never forget it.  I'll never do it again either.

Answer 5

Skiing can turn out to be painful to someone who is prone to backaches. You're young...when you're older you get aches and pains much easier. You'll see one day.

Answer 6

Your dad knows his body better than you do.  If he doesn't want to go, you should respect his decision.

Answer 7

I first went skiing at age 15.  It took me 3 days before I got the hang of it.  I fell so many times I almost gave up. I am glad I stuck with it.  I am now an avid skiier and haven't broken any bones yet.  Have your Dad take lessons and stay on the Bunny slopes for the first few days.  Tell him to give it a try, he will love it.

Answer 8

Dont make him go, if you do now he will probably fall and break his legs.

Answer 9

"advil cures all.

the only work out is in the legs if anything.

if it starts to hurt, there's a lodge.

just this once, for me? if you dont like it i wont make you again...."
