See my post #60 ... do you ski? Probably not ... I've been skiing for over 50 years without a helmet ... stick it pal.
I'm glad her two sons can view her movies as they keep her close to their hearts forever.

Its not the fall, its HOW you fall.”
A number of years ago a somewhat local small town preacher with whom I was slightly acquainted was playing tennis & fell backwards hitting his head. That was the end of him.
Wow!!! You called me an idiot in your earlier post for not wearing a helmet ... your coaching acumen overwhelms me ... are you still employed?
I've been where she is, and there is nothing bad you could wish on her that is worse than what she's enduring now and will live with until she dies.
I’m sure by now you have Googled it. He died this past Sunday I believe. Like I said, it really bummed me out.
Well you are right on of course. My best friend died in high school. I learned at a very young age how fragile and short life could be which is why I try to cherish every moment.
Boy am I glad you were okay. I think we sometimes try to diagnose ourselves and it’s not a good thing.
What a terrible tragedy. May God bless Natasha and also her family, especially her husband and children. They all must be in such pain right now - my sincerest prayers for them in this time of grief.
She was on the Bunny Slope! It was a sad fluke.
What the Hell does that have to do with this tragedy???????
No Vanessa Redgrave is her Mother, Lynn her Aunt!
I wasn't being accusing, just matter of fact. I haven't been skiing in several years. The last time I went I separated my shoulder falling on an intermediate slope and I rarely fall. I don't know whether I would wear a helmet at this point. My son is an adult. I like the way the wind feels on my face and in my hair when I am on my way down the slope. If I choose not to wear a helmet I don't want any comments on that. I will take full responsibility.
Yep -- but I was fortunate.
Well hopefully you wouldn’t do it again now that you know better.
