Natasha Richardson dies after ski accident (single, quote, artist, band)

Kiwi22 · 03-19-2009, 03:58 PM

This is such devastating news... after a ski accident on Monday in Canada she suffered blunt head trauma and passed away yesterday afternoon. She leaves behind her husband, Liam Neeson, two young sons and family and friends who adored her.

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family...

Really, why is it devastating for you?

Sorry that she died but she's a bit of a fool for not wearing a helmet OR getting checked after. It doesn't matter if you feel fine.

Sad news but she should have been more active in terms of making 100% sure she had no internal injuries.

It wasnt really her fault; she was on a beginner's slope, or a 'nursery' slope wherein it isnt essential, or even 'necessary', that you wear a helmet.

Whether it's necessary or not, I don't know, I don't ski, but regardless, she should have gotten medical attention after, even if she felt okay. They would have had a far better chance of saving her life.

That's the scariest part... when you "feel fine" most people don't want to make a scene by going to the hospital... I probably would've been tough about it too unless I could feel something was really wrong.

Regarding helmets... I've skied since I was 5 and never wore a helmet...but I think it's a lot easier to learn when your a kid and lower to the ground... for an adult just learning, I think it's definitely a good idea to wear one bc that's when you are at most risk for falling.

How come people become "devastated" when a famous person croaks, meanwhile, other people kicking up daisies on a daily basis get nary a thread?

Sneer · 03-19-2009, 04:11 PM

Because people arent aware of their existence on a wide scale? Pretty obvious i would have thought.

If you're not aware of people's existence on a wide scale, then you need a thread, my friend...

Sneer · 03-19-2009, 04:20 PM

So i should be aware of the existence of people who i've never seen, heard or met? Please fill me in on your secrets.
