human pile up accident during Nordic walking

Hello, has it ever happened to you while Nordic walking or hiking that when people were walking in a line behind each other, someone suddenly stopped walking and everyone bumped into each other?

Don’t you mean Nordic skiing? In the parallel tracks.

Sometimes - normally in the downhill bits.

Welcome to the forum.

Nordic walking is walking, often in groups, with (near) shoulder height poles. If done properly much more aerobic than simple walking.

I can see the problem with a large chattering* of Nordic walkers.

*Apparently an acceptable collective noun for participants known enthusiastically talking.

I would buy a ticket to watch someting like that…:
“There were poles and sticks everywhere, it was carnage!”

this never happened on any wine-tasting hike I’ve ever been, so indeed it’d be funny to see hikers crashing like lemmings
