Wouldn't she also be injured if she hit him? A collision is a collision. Weird that one walked away and one didn't, unless you consider he was a very old man and it doesn't take much to break a hip or bone. He supposedly had a list of ailments prior to the accident and is blind in one eye. Maybe he never even saw her.[/quote]

Quite possibly, but in the many collisions I have seen and heard of, the downhill unsuspecting skier is the one who is more often injured. The injury is often not from the first collision, but being knocked to the ground/having your equipment jab into you. The uphill skier's momentum gets stopped by the collision. The downhill skier gets propelled down the slope and falls awkwardly on their skis/poles. Imagine a child on a swing hits you from behind. Who is more likely injured?

Also, usually the person who is struck from behind doesn't take off down the mountain after the collision. They wait around to get over their shock and to get the skier at fault's info. [/quote]

Was he wearing a helmet? I would guess not. Seems strange to engage in a dangerous sport at such an age without the proper gear to be safe. [/quote]

Why would you guess not? Helmets are protective, but they can't completely prevent concussions. In fact, head injury statistics from snowsports haven't changed much since helmets were introduced, perhaps because people have a false sense of protection. And often they aren't fastened correctly and come off in collisions. Keep that strap tight everyone![/quote]

I haven't heard anyone say he was wearing a helmet. Have you?[/quote]

Sanderson's lawyer says in his opening statement "Sanderson's helmeted head" to make the point he was wearing a helmet. Why are people discussing this case without even watching?[/quote]

Who has time to watch this? It’s not that serious.[/quote]
