Willehond Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Willehond: Where is Swissvan based? Just curious as I worked as a ski-guide in Verbier myself. Strange, you should have bumped into him then, but seeing how little he's been on the slopes it's no surprise.... I did my skiing helmetless at Veysonnaz!
SwissVan Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Don't see how that could get you kicked off the hub. It really is plain and simple - wear a helmet. They can save you from serious injury' date=' like in this video I posted the other night:https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=45959[/quote'] Well the helmet no helmet topic has been debated plenty on the hub over the years, thought some might be sick enough off it to get aggro and complain about me bringing it up again... Oh yeah and if I mentioned helmets in the topic no one would have read any further SwissVan2009-03-19 07:26:26
pastapouch Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 from what I've heard is that Natasja Richardson stood up after the fall as if nothing's happened. Apparently she only started feeling unwell some time after the fall.

We used to take the guests once a week skiing down the 4 Vallees to Veysonnaz and depending on the guests either ski back or catch a bus via some warm spa pools back to Verbier.
no.one.knows Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 you know swiss van changing your avatar to cute choc bunnies along with this post was that coincidence or just well planned in order to not get you thrown off so fast?
Dirtbreath Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Its Natascha not Kate by the way. Apparently she was on a beginner slope. You try get anyone to wear a helmet on a beginner slope.
fiasm Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Wearing helmets is very popular amongst skiiers and makes a lot of sense. The slopes are full of young, fast snowboarders who cause a lot of accidents with skiiers. Here, they don't have separate areas. My nephew goes skiing with his school each week of winter and it's mandatory. A lot of olympic competitors are wearing them, across all disciplines.Apparently Richardson was having a ski lesson and not going fast either so if she's a beginner, all the more reason for wearing one.
Santa C Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Two rules:No Glove No Love....No Helmet No Ride...
Puza Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Ive broken many helmets in crashes.It could of been my head shredded to peaces but luckily the helmet claimed that job?!?!?!?
