Résumé anglais In ski resorts, the strategic use of safety related issues makes the analysis of debates on risk management efficiency more complex. Thus, some proposals for safety improvements seem to focus mainly on the defense of individual or corporate interests. As the aim of such proposals is essentially to justify or influence decisions, this may result in changes in accident descriptions. The analysis of such situations, illustrated with case studies, provides interesting insights for risk management, particularly as the arguments advanced are often found to be disconnected from the stated aim of risk prevention.
