Does anyone else think it worrying that there was no medical attention available for the poor woman despite the fact that she had been covering a ski jumping event, that the nearest hospital was 20 mins away and finally that that same hospital could not cope with her injuries resulting in a 300km transfer being required?
I'm not sure this bodes well for the athelets at any sporting events being held in China

It's a heck of a photo story.
The photo on what appears to be the source site - China View - has the wording "Copyright ©2003 Xinhua News Agency" inscribed at the base of the page - and would appear to be copyright.
I was accused of 'bandwidth theft' by two snowHeads members a couple of days ago, for hot-linking photos to this site, with no commercial motive. There was no comment from the mods refuting that allegation, and one mod seemed to side with the accusers.
The photo above is certainly valuable.
Is it used with permission? Does it matter? What - for the umpteenth time asking - is snowHeads' policy concerning crediting photographers/publishers for photos used commercially as above? Admin?

el Hen, ignoring (for a moment) the copyright issue (important as I'm sure it is), does anyone know why she didn't simply let go sooner?
" Hou Shuangmei was unable to get on to the chair properly as it left the station, but managed to get hold of an edge of the chair with one hand " Seems likely that had she not 'hung on' she'd have had less far to fall. Doesn't speak well for the lift operators either were they asleep?

Hou Shuangmei's new name is Wan Hunglo.

AxsMan, I'm not sure but the impression I get is that she took the lift down, which probably means that there was a big drop almost as soon as the chair mooved off, as you say however it does not put the lift opperator in a very good light

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

AxsMan, Perhaps the natural instinct to not fall off overcame the logical thought that it would be better to let go immediately and get a minor injury rather than risk a major injury. There wouldn't have been much time to think and react.

You know it makes sense.
|
|
Pete Horn, Yes understandable I suppose. Bit like when the ground crew holding hot air balloons don't let go quick enough, suddenly it's too late
