Only thing that I find curious is people fall 10,000 a day on a ski hill and never have a problem.


My one ski experience was on the Olympic downhill slope from the 36 Olympics in Berchasgarten, Germany in '55. I was a total novice and fell my way down the hill. Only way I could stop at speed. Only an idiot could have survived what I did.

Meanwhile, the brain is slowly swelling.

It causes pressure on the centers which control breathing, etc...usually they will cut away part of the skull to reduce the pressure and if treated promptly most victims would survive. This seems like a "freak" accident....
