Ski accident

[NotAllThere]

My daugher had a ski accident yesterday afternoon, and landed on her noggin. No bones broken, but had to be stretchered from the mountain to the nearest hospital, where they diagnosed concussion, and kept her for 24 hours - in intensive care! Home now. I would recommed though, if you're going skiing - do wear a ski-helmet.

Her goggles were cracked, and the DIN settings for the front bindings moved from 6 to 4.5 under the force of the impact. I'll have to get the bindings checked to see if they're safe. And buy a new helmet.

No sport for 2 weeks; no reading, no TV for 1 week. Thank goodness we can get BBC radio via our cable supplier.

Ick. A bash on the head is not nice. Hope she feels better soon and don't panic if she goes a bit shivery on you.

Have you thought about getting her lessons?

[AtW]

[EternalOptimist]

The airport departures lounge for skiing holidaymakers often look like casualty wards I gather. Never skied myself.

Presumably it wasn't snow she hit?

Sorry, wasn't clear. It was my daughter. Last run before going home (of course), got caught by an uphill bit that was steeper than she thought. Took air - next thing she knows she's flat on her back and her head hurts. My wife was just behind her, so we got help to her quickly. Snow at speed can still be quite hard.

What was worrying was the 24 hour stay - in intenstive care! She seems fine now. Just tired. She'll miss a week of school, and won't be skiing during our ski holiday the week after!

When she called us last night and told us the doctor had told her not to use her brain too much... there was a pregnant pause from our end of the line!

Cant you sue anyone?

Did she have insurance?

[NotAllThere]

Why would we sue anyone?

Yes, we have plenty of insurance. The costs for intensive care are likely to £6000+
