Natasha Richrdson, wife of actor Liam Neeson and an accomplished actress, has died of an apparent head injury while snow skiing. Oddly she seemed okay so the paramedics did not examine her. It was only later that she began feeling ill.
You will recall that Sony Bono and one of the Kennedys skied into fixed objects and died . Kennedy was looking backwards playing a game of catch. The ski patrol had warned his group to discontinue the practice.
As a former snow skier, I can only reflect amazement that there are not more injuries. As the article notes, she was not wearing a helmet, and that might have saved her, my speculation. After all, bicycle helmets are seen on near everyone riding a bike. Those not wearing a motorcycle helmet usually pay the ultimate price in a crash.
Snow skiing, bicycling and motorcyles are all unforgiving pursuits. Let's be careful out there.
