Helmet?

[Seruzawa]

Uh oh. Time for “Ski Control” now.

[dfwgator]

Did he know Claudine Longet?

[Sgt_Schultze]

OMICRON? Was he vaccinated?

[bleach]

Damn Covid.

[V_TWIN]

Wow.

Played Hannibal Lecter in one of the lesser known Hannibal movies.

Sad

I’m going to bet he wasn’t wearing a helmet, and someone made a mistake (or was out of control) in a “right of way” situation.

At the top of a blue run you might pick up some speed, if it’s marked blue for lack of moguls but it has a bit of steep slope at the top.

Rest in Peace. No matter what, I recommend wearing helmets out on the slopes!

“The other skier didn’t suffer any injuries.”

Maybe he had a heart attack or stroke just before this happened.

[PghBaldy]

I was just thinking about how dangerous skiing can be today. R.I P.

[Guenevere]

He wasn’t wearing a helmet

[joethedrummer]

Claudine Longet was unavailable for comment..

[Renfrew]

How long before he appears on the list of vaccine fatalities?

[SamAdams76]

Was he vaxxed? Sorry, had to be the first one to get that in.

As it was inevitable.

Hard to believe that a collision with another skier on a blue run would result in his death. Although deaths from closed head injuries are not uncommon......

A kid I grew up was killed in a skiing accident over Christmas break when I was a high school sophomore. He was an excellent skier, along with everyone in his family.

He was the first person I ever knew who died. We (accidentally) chose the same science fair topic in sixth grade.

I witnessed three deaths on ski slopes: one in Austria, one in Switzerland, and one in France. No one wore a helmet in those days, but running into a tree or a lift pylon at speed could easily result in death. running into another skier usually did not produce a death.

I doubt the a helmet would have made a difference in the three accidents that I witnessed, but a collision between two skiers, a helmet may have saved a life. I skied with members of the U.S. Ski team, in a training mode for instructor certification. Their skills were so much beyond mine that it defies description. Most amateur skiers frequently ski beyond their skill level. I certainly did so.

its gotten bad when the first thing I think about is this a cover for another young athlete dying from the vaxx?...
