I am in shock. I didnt really know this kid he was from ireland and Sunday night he went skiing and hit a tree. He was on life support until his parent flew in from ireland this morning and pulled the plug. Its just horrible they had to fly all this way just to see their son die.

I just feel bad for his parents imagine having your son in a foreign country and then a freak accident like this happens.

Can you tell me how you die from hitting A TREE? Thats just God's way of saying it's time for you to go.

It's honestly not uncommon, though most people who do it are skiing out of the boundaries of the hill. It is possible to hit a small jump where you can't see the other side for some reason and have a tree waiting there for you with no time to react.

I believe a good example is "Sonny Bono's Ski Football Lesson: Ski with you head turned forward."

it's always hard to see how people get ripped out of their normal life... you might want to go there one day where it happened... dunno if that'll help...
