A staff member said: “We are heartbroken that we didn’t do more to persuade her to wear one.” A helmet would have cost her ten dollars, instead of her life.
“Every skier is encouraged to wear a helmet, especially beginners like Natasha. But it is not legally enforced and they can always refuse.”
“I remember Natasha coming into the shop before her lesson. She seemed cheerful, bright and extremely beautiful.”
“She said she wasn’t a good skier and was a little nervous. She spoke to other staff about her equipment, and they offered her some headgear.”
Natasha could have prevented her death just by wearing a ski helmet.
