Wow. How did she die from colliding with another human being? I can understand from a tree collision, like Sonny Bono.

No helmet 4mPH. Any stationary object hit in the wrong place.

In my much younger days, I took a few skiing lessons.
We learned to do a “stem christie” turn when going down a steep slope to control and slow down our descent.
This requires that one skis across the slope and turn, similar to hairpin turns in a road.
While I was doing my stem christie a little boy about 6 years old hit me going full tilt with no control at all.
Knocked us both down and he had a slight bloody nose.
If he had been an adult, it could have been a disaster.

Thinking the same thing and running into another human being on a Black Diamond is some expert level stuff since there are so few people on those runs.

I gave myself two cracked ribs and a concussion on a black diamond years ago.

Pro tip: Always wear a helmet.

‘I can understand from a tree collision, like Sonny Bono.”

Sonny Bono hit a tranny. It identified as a tree.
