 Poster: A snowHead
|
Michelle Mone, boss of the designer lingerie company Ultimo, has donated £8,000 to fly home a Scots snowboarder who is stranded in France after a serious accident. Corrine Barrons, 33, from Kilsyth, was left in a coma after hitting her head while snowboarding in Meribel 2 weeks ago. Because she wasn’t fully insured, she was stranded in France after the accident. ...So, earlier this week, her relatives launched an appeal for the money to bring her home. Charter flight firm Mediavation offered to fly Corrine by air ambulance from Grenoble to Glasgow's Southern General Hospital's specialist head injury unit for the discount price of £8,000 after an appeal from the family. However, this was still more than they could afford.
Corrine, who had been working in France during the ski season, now faces up to a year of rehab to overcome bleeding on the brain. It's understood she was put in a chemically-induced coma following the accident and is now conscious.

Gald she's coming home. Wonder why she did not insure herself properly in the first place - or maybe there was something odd in the small print?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Serious question - was she wearing a helmet, and if not, would it have helped? (yes serious question, honest...  )

achilles, if she was a seasonaire theres a good chance that she wouldn't have had repatriation cover, often they get medical cover but not transport back to their own country, something worth bearing in mind for those planning to do a season I guess
