 Poster: A snowHead
|
Story from Hintertux in the paper this morning.
| Quote: |
| A girl of 8 was almost strangled when her scarf got trapped in a ski lift. She jumped off behind an instructor who was helping another child who had fallen - but got tangled and was dragged by her neck up the mountain. The child was saved by a passing doctor who revived her. She was airlifted from the mountain and is expected to make a full recovery |

Bit of a message about scarves with loose ends - when near exposed mechanisms they can indeed strangle. It was true in the day of Isadora Duncan, and it's true now. SnowHeads-type buffs look smart and are much safer.
And full marks to those who rescued the little girl, and enabled her recovery.

I've often wondered about that - I don't like seeing kids with scarfs. Isadora Duncan made a deep impression on me - I often cite her in warning and grandmotherly tones when people are being thoughtless with scarfs.

Have just been reading the Isadora Duncan Wikipedia entry
It must have been a very long and extravagant scarf.

Read the same story in Metro this morning, glad she appears to be okay. Scarves and ski lifts don't mix...

Sounds like Daily Mail hyperbole. Does anybody know the actual story?

In EK this year we saw quite a few kids with their braces hanging over their backsides. Just asking to get hooked on a foot bar on a lift.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Oh my God I just read the story of Isadora Duncan's life. Wow, that is too much tragedy for one person!! Phew....

thecramps, my nephew learnt not to do that after suffering what he described as a "savage wedgie" when he dismounted a chairlift but his salopettes didn't.

Mine has a hood that fits over the helmet- great for avoiding icy drops down the back of the neck!!

Mine has a roll away hood, that I never use. However I don't think that scarves are a good idea when sking there are bandana type things that are far better. As for braces they are easily removed if you don't want to wear them.

I did that once and yes the braces got caught on the drag lift. Nearly ripped my salopettes off! Made a hell of a twang after dragging me 10 ft up the mountain on my back bottom!

Do the lift people not look out for this kind of thing? Just a thought.
