Natasha Richardson Ski Accident has been transferred from a Montreal hospital to Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Right now we do not know Ms. Richardson's condition and let's hope that she fully recovers. Parents - wear that helmet and make the little ones wear one - because you may be the best skier on the mountain, but you just never know.The fact that she may not have been wearing a helmet on a beginner slope does bother me. When I was skiing in France it was jokingly said that I must be an American because I was wearing a helmet. Unfortunately, that is very much the case throughout Europe especially among adults - I did notice children in ski schools were wearing head protection.
We now know what happened to Natasha Richardson on the ski slope when she was critically hurt yesterday, suffering a brain injury. We're told she was having a private lesson on a green slope (beginner) at a ski resort in Quebec, Canada. She fell -- we're not sure why. There was no blood and no sign of impact. Two ski patrollers came to her rescue. When they got there she was conscious -- smiling and making jokes.
