I just remember her from the film the parent trap. She was apparantly laughing and joking initially after the accident and then by the time they got her down the mountain that had all changed...........how sad.

They are, it's just you've no pain receptors in the brain so (excepting a penetrating injury) symptoms don't start until some sort of inflammation has occurred. Most serious brain injury is linked to a loss of consciousness at the time although it seems that didn't occur here. Inter cranial pressure or ICP is caused by slow bleeds or swelling similar to bruising, it can occur up to one week from the original impact, arterial bleeds into the brain cause much the same and are similarly difficult to treat.

What a horrible story! Her poor family. I never would have thought anyone could die from such a minor accident.

I have had concussion twice (falling off my horse as a child), and been hospitalized once with it, and given anti brain bleed drugs. Strangely enough I don't remember any head pain, even though I was knocked unconscious, just confusion and I was staggering about, like a drunk. I was wearing a riding hat at the time, though.

I think I am going to have a go wearing a helmet next year, ski-ing.
