It is true she is gone. Natasha Richardson, 45, Stage and Film Star, Dies: New York Times.

Such a tragedy for the family. My heart goes out to Liam Neeson and their two kids.

According to news she’s dying and relatives are gathering by her side to say goodbye.
A damn shame.

Reed, I would never claim that a helmet makes you invincible. It does, however, greatly decrease the risk of a serious head injury. Yeah it’s too bad when you read about accidents like this, but it shouldn’t make you nervous every time you feel like getting out and skiing. Wear a helmet, be cautious, don’t ski next to the tree line and you’ll be fine.

Sounds very much like this was waiting to happen, She didn`t have a serous bump – just a fall but must have burst a blood vessel in her head which would have happend even with helmet on… The jolt alone could have done it… very sad… she is lovely

For some reason, there have been several snow activity deaths making the news in Canada this year. These include people skiing and snow boarding into trees. Neil M, some of these people were even wearing helmets. So a helmet doesn’t make you invincible.

When I was a kid, I remember tobogganing into a tree. The pom pom from my toque was embedded in the tree!

You can still go skiing Sean, just make sure you wear a helmet.
