Natasha Richardson suffers terrible ski accident

Very sad news.

What is it with looking fashionable and not being safe on the slopes? Sonny Bono hit a tree and died, he didn't wear a helmet either. I don't get it, a helmet can save your life. This is really sad, heard one of her sons was with her when it happened?

Rest In Peace

I can't imagine having to take my wife off of life support. Especially at such a young age!
Tragic.

 

[ZazaCast]

She was a beautiful woman, fine actress and great mother...what a shame.
God bless.

 

[David Saraceno]

This is so sad and so unexpected.

Having skied for years without a helmet, it's hard to understand how a fall on a bunny slope can cause such a tragic injury.

Loved both her and her sister's movies.

One of favorites, surprisingly, is Loch Ness with Joely Richardson

Very sad

Having skied for years without a helmet, it's hard to understand how a fall on a bunny slope can cause such a tragic injury.

Just the right angle, just the right acceleration, just the right degree of hardness in packed snow, ice, or underlying ground or rock.

I broke/tore/sprained a fair number of things while skiing, once or twice on comparatively benign slopes, even when I was at peak form while racing.
