I wish folks would stop referring to Ms. Richardson's fall as "minor" because it gives the impression that the outcome was some sort of divine or unavoidable fate. In fact, very little information has been revealed about the actual fall except that the instructor who witnessed it called the ski patrol who called an ambulance. This is not a routine response to a "tumble" on the bunny slope. It must have been pretty dramatic for these trained ski experts to react so strongly. I don't know anyone who even knows anyone who has been taken off the mountain by the ski patrol on the sled. The resort has minimized the seriousness of the accident from the very beginning. The only people who've said the fall was minor, that she refused treatment, and that she was talking and laughing are the resort spokesmen. I predict that at the end of the day, we'll find out the fall was not a "minor tumble" and that leaving the decision regarding additional medical care to the victim of the fall or to non-medically trained staff was .... in part responsible for her death.
