British actress Miranda Richardson (married to Liam Neeson) has sadly died in a skiing accident in Canada. She hit her head and seemed fine for an hour but then got headache that got worse and was taken to hospital. Should a helmet be worn for skiing?

You have Miranda Richardson mixed up with Natasha Richardson. Yes, Natasha Richardson has sadly died in a skiing accitdent. I was a fan of hers. Skiing is a dangerous sport but accidents do happen. This is certainly a tradegy. Maybe helmets should be worn for beginners, as she was.

Wow, that sounds terrible. From my opinion, i think many sports should involve many more saftey items, including skiing. Yeah, a helmut is a nice solution.

Natasha Richardson, Sonny Bono, Michael Kennedy are ones we all know, what we don't hear about is how many others are seriously injured every year, I see medivac helicopters, and ambulances come to the moutains I work at almost every week it is a dangerous sport, kennedy, and Bono were good skiers Richardson was a beginner. I think everyone should were helmets especially children, sitting in a hospital ER with your child in a coma is no way to end your ski vacation

(Natasha Richardson) Very sad. And yes, helmets should be worn, not just by beginners. Sonny Bono had a similar fatal accident. He should have also been wearing a helmet. It is just common sense.

I think Ms. Richardson's death is a bit too recent to be fodder for an AB question, sorry.

I, for one, shall miss her.
