[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eric Christensen - Moses ski instructor is now testifying. Most sane person to testify to date and seems fairly impartial as he has contradicted GPs testimony significantly.

Unepxeted fact: Ski instructor must be in his late 60s at least. Has been a ski instructor for 44 years.

He had been watching Sanderson as he was coming down the slope with a lot of speed and was clearly a strong skiier making 'GS Slalom like' turns on his edges. He watched until Sanderson passed him and Moses and then he heard a scream and looked over and the two of them were tangled on the ground. He skiied over and Sanderson was laying on his back head up the hill and Paltrow was on top of him with their legs and skiis entangled. He helped them get their skiis off. Paltrow was angry and Sanderson wasn't saying much. Ramon was still skiing towards them as he had been much farther uphill.

It sounds like they just colliided without warning where they both turned into each other. I don't think either knows exactly what happened.  Sanderson likely was hurt (concussion and broken ribs) because he was travelling at higher speed and came to a sudden stop and fell backwards quite hard and then had Paltrow land on top of him. She wasn't hurt as she had been skiiing slower and had a softer landing.

CHristensen testified that Sanderson was never unconscious and initially said he was okay and didn't need assistance. He did say he wasn't saying much but he did say sorry. He said Paltrow wasn't yelling but was using a sharp tone. Christensen first helped Paltrow up then Sandersen up. [/quote]

Instead of contradicting I think he corroborates Paltrow's version. Someone skiing up behind you could knock you backwards and you could fall back hard on them breaking a few ribs. He also refutes Sanderson's claim that he was sticking to the right because of his poor eyesight.[/quote]

Gwyneth's testonmony was that he slowly skiied up behind her and put his skiis between her legs and pressed his body against hers [b]for a few seconds [/b]while making grunting noises before they fell and he spooned her on the ground. None of that happened according to the ski instructor. He wasn't behind her as he was criss crossing the hill and she was over on the right side. I do think he skiied into her / they skiied into each other as they turned. [/quote]

The ski instructor didn't see the actual collision so he's not saying that did or did not happen.[/quote]

The time period between when he had looked at Sanderson and then heard the scream and looked over given the position of the two skiiers would not have allowed for that. Additionally his description of the speed and position of the two of them right before and right after the collision would not allow for that to be a true version of events. [/quote]
