Skiing and Helmets. Whats your opinion?

[cmoneyr]

I wonder what Natasha was doing that she fell hard enough to cause hemorrhaging?

Skiing.

I skii. I've never fallen hard enough to kill myself. I think maybe she was taking chances.

 

[cmoneyr]

Yeah, she was trying a triple lindy off the chair lift. You really think that since it hasn't happened to you that it couldn't happen to her?

During a lesson on the bunny slope?

I can't fathom how this happened. I've heard of people cracking their noodle and dying. But generally they don't get up from the fall. She made it back to her room and it took and hour or two for her to start showing any adverse effects.

I thought she was on the bunny hill.

Ease off the trigger friend. Obviously it happened to her, since she's dead. I have a hard time imagining she was skiing the way I have, if she fell hard enough to die. That's all I'm saying.

I don't think skii helmets are necessary. If you disagree, then fine. You don't have to get all up in my grill. :biglaugh:

The brain is a tricky thing.

Did she hit her head on ice or something? It just sounds like a freak and rare accident. It's nothing to base helmet laws from.

That's all I can figure. Or she hit something solid (pole, barrier of some sort) But I'd think that'd be mentioned by now.

We're talking about gov't involvement here You expect common sense? :wink:

A friend of mine had an interesting experience last week. He has 3 young daughters. All in elementary school. One of the younger ones fell off the chair lift. Her chair was swinging and hit one of the lift towers knocking her off the chair. She landed on her feet and then her butt. She was checked out and nothing was broke. She was pretty shaken, and pale the rest of the day.
