Natasha Richardson dies due to skiing accident.

[WampusCrandle]

Was skiing in near Montreal and is now in critical condition, with head trauma (http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b104720_natasha_richardson_hospitalized_after.html ). thats never good.

[PapaBear]

I never wanted to ski when I was young, because I was afraid of potential leg injuries (bicycle racing enthusiast). Then Sonny Bono and that Kennedy guy got killed so close together by bashing their heads in on trees. I'm glad I stayed off the skis.

[WampusCrandle]

i believe it was Michael Kennedy

[Tall_James]

Skiing, like Rollerball, is a death sport.

I hope she comes through this OK. If she hit a tree, that tree should be cut down, burned and then pissed on.

[drjoek]

Daughter of Vanessa Redgrave. Married to Liam Neeson if memory serves me. That sucks

Nah, let the poor tree live - it did nothing wrong but bring another dummy to an abrupt halt.

If you insist on cutting it down, then make it into another pair of skies for the next well-off asshole to go flying down the side of a snow covered mountain.

Much like Christopher Reeve, who destroyed his spine and brought about his own lingering death by being thrown off a horse while riding it for "sport", I have no sympathy for entitled idiots who bring about their own pain, suffering, and demise.

My opinion is based purely on the fact that she is the same age as me and that I think she is still very hot.

[CountryBob]

Good luck Bro!

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for vegetation like you like you. If you let my wife live now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will chop you down.

[Misteriosa]

i was waiting for someone to throw that out there :laugh:

je-sus dude. That rant is like me on steroids.

That being said, I disagree. There's a major difference between Reeve's accident and this.

There's no "borderline" animal cruelty involved in skiing. And skiing just ins't for rich entitled people.

[tanless1]

cut it down for gibson guitars, maybe we'll get a special vibration. terible for liam and the kids.

[DrDrew319]

I used to work for liam and her at their house in MIllbrook NY. I used to laugh everytime i saw her because she would smoke Virginia Slim 100s.

[KingGeno]

Now you can laugh at providing her with any substitute for her to smoke. Pork chop. her own finger. She won't notice.

[dino_electropolis]

While my heart goes out to her immediate family, and i pray for her recovery, something about wealthy people being injured as a result of their comfortable, entitled lifestyle makes it hard for me to feel toooooo bad.


Like JFK, Jr....oh, yeah? Killed when your private jet went down?

Sonny Bono...oh yeah? Died while skiing with the family?


Now, if a hard working immigrant mother of 4 was mowed down on her way between jobs, then youd get some serious empathy from me. But if your death is a result of your own high falutin' lifestyle, i say " tough titties."

[Snoogans]

being that these ski places have runs, you have to be retarded to hit a tree, or skiing off trail. And if you are off trail, you better be good, and I dont feel bad for you if you fuck up, cause its dumb to do

[Furtherman]

But if your death is a result of your own high falutin' lifestyle, i say " tough titties."

Skiing is hardly high falutin'.

[keithy_19]

Skiing is hardly high falutin'.

Agreed. "Common folk" ski all the time. People close to me ski, and I assure you that they are not wealthy.

[keithy_19]

And, badass name for their youngest kid.

Daniel Jack. Jack Daniel. Jack Daniels. Daniels Jack. Daniel's Jack. Jack Daniels Daniel's Jack.

[TripleSkeet]

I never realized how many closed-minded people were on this board.

Skiing can be dangerous? So people that ski deserve to get hurt? Horseback riding too? Wow. I feel for your kids. That has to be the most boring fucking mindset ever.

Ive done both and these are extremely fun things. Theres always some risk involved in anything that exhilarating.

- Bungee Jumping
- Skydiving
- Water skiing
- Snowboarding
- Skateboarding
- Surfing

What would you rather just live in protective bubble wrap? Anyone that avoids activities like these just to play it safe I really feel sorry for. Youre missing out on a truly great part of life.

That actually sounds much more fun than any of the activites you listed. Who wouldn't want to live in what's basically a giant bouncy castle? Apparently you, Spoilsport McHatesFun.

This right after he dropped a well-placed "dothead" bon mot in another thread.

Whatever, dude! TIME TO GLEAM THE CUBE.

[TripleSkeet]

I told you before, its just my way if describing people. I dont hate on people for their race, thats why I have no guilt. I do notice though that Im not the only one that describes people this way, Im just the only one that keeps having it pointed out.

[TheMojoPin]

Dude, you just accused other people of being close-minded because they don't do "extreme sports."

It basically wrote itself.

[TripleSkeet]

Dude, you just accused other people of being close-minded because they don't do "extreme sports."

If I did that Id agree with you.

But the people I was calling closed minded was the ones that said anyone that does them deserves to get hurt. Theres a difference. If people dont like to try different things it doesnt matter to me. But to say someone like Christopher Reeve deserved to be paralyzed because people shouldnt ride horses? Was I wrong in my interpretation of that?

its nice to see that you have the ability to place a price on people's lives. why is it that an immigrant mother of 4 should be more worthy to live than someone in an accident? how about we blame the immigrant mother for her poor lifestyle?

but there is risk in anything that we do. i just dont see how people arent being closed-minded on this board, or specifically, in this thread.

[MisterSmith]

Wow - I just caught this story and it seems that there are some seriously mixed reports concerning Natasha Richardson's condition. She might be OK, or she might be Brain Dead. There were some reports that she was dead, but it was amended to brain dead.

There doesn't seem to be much solid information right now. Either way, I am sorry for Miss Richardson and her family - especially if the worst reports are true.




Addendum - wwtdd.com is where I saw the first report of brain death and Google search brought up more conflicting reports.

[Hottub]

Not good. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,509477,00.html)

[WampusCrandle]

wow, fucking bad turn. its really awful, especially for her kids and husband.

and she wasn't that bad an actress, either

[underdog]

This whole time I thought we were talking about Natasha Henstridge, and I was inconsolable.

[Furtherman]

Not good. (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,509477,00.html)

Here I figured she slammed into a tree but it looks to be just a simple accident. I've fallen like that a thousand times. Just a terrible, terrible story.

[TripleSkeet]

That sucks.

she was being taught how to ski, and fell - she didn't ski into a tree.

[scottinnj]

how about we blame the immigrant mother for her poor lifestyle?

Can't....

OBAMA PRESIDENT NOW!!!!



What? Nothing?

C'mon Guys! I couldn't help myself! That joke practically wrote itself!
:clap:

[TheMojoPin]

she was being taught how to ski, and fell - she didn't ski into a tree.

Wow, that's crazy. The article says she was up and about after the fall. I know head injuries can be deceptive like that, but I wonder if some kind of embolism or aneurysm was involved.

[scottinnj]

Concussions and skull fractures are super sneaky. You get up and walk away from a motor vehicle accident like the stud you are, and half an hour later you've got Mr. Potato Head brains.

Hope they spotted it quick and treated any brain swelling in time.

[Lady Resin]

Sources close to Tony-award winning actress Natasha Richardson tell FOXNews.com that the 45-year-old actress is brain dead, and being transported back to New York City before she is to be taken off life support.

Richardson's condition deteriorated following a skiing accident on Monday on a beginner's trail at the Mont Tremblant ski resort in Quebec, Canada.

A spokeswoman for Montreal's Sacré-Coeur hospital, where Richardson was transferred after being sent initially to nearby Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe, said a family representative was expected to release a statement Wednesday.

Richardson, who is married to actor Liam Neeson, was reported in serious condition with a head injury by multiple outlets early Tuesday.

"We know that she has had an accident but we really do not know any more details," said Kika Markham, who is married to Richardson's uncle, Corin Redgrave. "We are very concerned."

Neeson left the set of a movie he was filming in Toronto to be by his wife's side.

"Liam Neeson left the Toronto set immediately to fly to Montreal upon news of his wife’s accident," a rep for his film said in a statement to Canadian TV. "We do not have any details at this time but we hope for the best and our thoughts and prayers are with Natasha and Liam and their family."

Neeson's reps told FOXNews.com they had "no information at this time regarding this matter."

Mont Tremblant said Richardson fell on a beginner's trail during a ski lesson and later reported not feeling well. She was not wearing a helmet, nor was one required, they said.

"She did not show any visible sign of injury, but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor," said a statement from the resort.

Mont Tremblant spokeswoman Catherine Lacasse said Richardson was getting a private lesson and that she said she was fine at first.

"An hour later she said she didn't feel well. She had a headache, so we sent her to the hospital," Lacasse said. "There were no signs of impact and no blood, nothing."

Richardson, is the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late director Tony Richardson. She married Neeson in 1994 after they both appeared in the film "Nell." The couple have two sons.

In January, Richardson and her mother played the roles of mother and daughter in a one-night benefit concert version of "A Little Night Music," in New York.

Why don't they make beginners wear a helmet? They make you wear one to ride a Goddamn bicycle these days.

I guess they will have to now. What a shame :down:

[grlNIN]

Oh man, that is fucking terrible.

Why couldn't it have been Joely?

[drusilla]

awful story. skiiing is bad news. ever since i got my concussion a few years ago from snowboarding i started wearing a helmet. people love to make fun, but it helps prevent shit like this from happening.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Wow, that's crazy. The article says she was up and about after the fall. I know head injuries can be deceptive like that, but I wonder if some kind of embolism or aneurysm was involved.

Fuckass, you were the one who told me to go to the doctor after I had my accident.

YOU SAVED MY LIFE MOJO

There have been conflicting reports. You don't take someone who is braindead to NYC just to take them off life support. Shenanigans.

I'm inclined to believe TMZ's report that she's in a medically induced coma.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Dammit.

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, MOJO

[Death Metal Moe]

Well, we don't know where most of her family lives or where she wishes to be buried. Wouldn't they take you off near where your body will lie for good and so everyone who wants to be there can get there easily?

[drusilla]

her brain was most likely swelling after the fall. it's a shame dr dino has the worst schedule possible this month so i can't get him to answer any questions.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Well, we don't know where most of her family lives or where she wishes to be buried. Wouldn't they take you off near where your body will lie for good and so everyone who wants to be there can get there easily?

Her immediate family was there in Montreal - it was a family skiing trip and Liam was shooting in Toronto.

I assure you, her brothers and sisters could get to Montreal quite easily, it's not like they are poor.

They transport a dead body, not a brain-dead body. I've never heard of people being transported just to be disconnected close to the grave.

Besides, they're british, not American. One would think she would be disconnected in London, not NYC.

She's going to NYC because the best doctors are there.

[Death Metal Moe]

Oh, well I didn't know all that.

I wonder what her diagnosis is and her best case recovery. Probably not too good.

[drusilla]

the family also does have tons of money & in that case you can usually go where ever you want. they do live in nyc. one of her sons was already there.

[Hottub]

Dammit.

X2

[TripleSkeet]

Wow, now that the details came out Im floored.

Something similar happened to a friend of mine 2 weeks ago. She was skiing, took a bad spill, but was ok. That night shes drinking at the bar and just passes out, right off the barstool. Shes lucky shes ok, she didnt even go see a doctor.

Who are you? Doctor Steve?

[WampusCrandle]

well, it would explain all the ball cancer checks that i give myself

[WampusCrandle]

apparently, her accident would coincide with the Redgrave Family Curse (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1162783/Natashas-ski-fall-tragedy-Struck-eternal-curse-Redgraves.html)

didn't know the family even had one.

its being reported that Natasha Richardson is being taken off life support. (http://www.imdb.com/news/ni0714122/)

death is pretty imminent then. :down:

I really don't think you understand. Here, let me quote it so you can get it :

See? There's no reason she'd go to NYC just to be taken off of life support.

I was watching ABC and they used 'talk and die'. I guess they were as confused as us. Or maybe they're interchangeable terms.
