As I understand it, her injuries would not have been prevented by a helmet. It was apparently a whiplash type injury that caused her to develop a blood clot that may have caused her death.

I knew this would start. Soon, we’ll have to wear helmets when we go for a walk too...or just stand up. Good grief.

Does one need a helmet to drive a helmet car?

This annoys me. The press is touting with absolute certainty that this was caused by a ski accident. Strokes happen all the time. Sometimes you’re at a ski resort, sometimes you’re somewhere else.

The very minor nature of her fall suggests strongly to me that her stroke would have happened anyway.

If she had died watching TV would they be pushing for a law requiring helmets when you’re sitting on your couch.

Only if you're a liberal...

Seriously, would it have made a difference in this case? From what I've heard the answer is "probably not".

I don't think its been determined yet the the fall cause the blood vessel hemorrhage in her brain. Her fall on the bunny hill, may have been the result of her getting dizzy or blacking out from the hemorrhage. I would almost bet on it.

That being said, NO it should not be mandatory. But I would advise it. I was given an expensive skiers helmet for Christmas a few years back. Not real crazy about wearing it at first, but it did without a doubt prevent me from being injured when being run into at full speed by a snowboarder. The collision knocked her out cold, She did not have a helmet. I was blown out of my skis about 20 feet but was unhurt except for a few bumps and bruises.
