Man, that is sad. She sounds like a really wonderful woman-- given that she was born into theatrical royalty. RIP Natasha; peace Liam.
That is really sad. I guess I'll never go skiing again. I hurt my knee first time I went. It's scary. My fiance's cousin crashed into a tree when skiing and he is still alive and well today. He probably got some bruises from that incident. Makes this incident with Natasha really devastating to the family. She must really hit her head hard. Would she be alive if she accepted medical help right away? I guess we won't know.
Seriously, she was just really unlucky. This could have happened with her walking down her porch steps or something. I fell several times when I was a beginner skiing. Most people don't die from falling on skis. I've also banged my head a few times really hard. I bled like hell but most of those occassions I never sought medical attention...except when I need stitches in my forehead. I guess my point is...you could use this as a reason to never leave the house again if you wanted to.
Nah, I didn't really have fun skiing. I was scared most of times so I don't really care to ski again. I'm just a chicken.
