Ski helmet law mulled after Richardson death
By ROB GILLIES - 38 minutes ago

TORONTO (AP) - Quebec is considering making helmets mandatory on ski slopes
following the death of actress Natasha Richardson and after doctors tried to
persuade the province's sports minister to do it.

A spokesman for the sports minister says Thursday that Richardson's death at
a Quebec resort has added impetus to the province's plans.

Jean-Pascal Bernier says the minister met with emergency room doctors this
week and will meet with Quebec ski resort owners and operators in the coming
weeks.

Richardson fell Monday while taking a beginners ski course and died
Wednesday in a New York hospital. A statement from the family did not give
details of the precise cause of death.

Emergency room doctors in the province first called for mandatory use of
helmets three weeks ago.

One of the UK's top skiers was on the radio the other day explaining why he
never wears a helmet. He said the biggest risk is other skiers colliding
with him and he can't hear them with a hat on.

No - I'd go with option three - Chapman is a ****wit and cannot

Or rather, pretends not to whenever they don't suit his twisted
agendas. And if lives are at stake, then so be it: his twisted
agendas are the priority.

I would consider it a compliment if my reasoned statements, judgments
and arguments were met by personal insults.
They show that the insulter has no reasoned considered counter to the
arguments put forth.
After all the truth, reasonableness and force of someone's arguments
have nothing to do with his or her personal characteristics.

The Kiwi is very aptly New Zealand's national emblem.
It is a bird which cannot fly.
It only comes out at night.
It has nostrils at the end of its beak,
and it is always poking its nose into things.

And when the insults come from judith and nuxxy, the two most
deranged, deluded and obsessive trolls this group has ever seen, it
is pretty much an endorsement of every word written :-)

Any comment on when the URC psycholists slag off judith and nuxxy? Or
doesn't that equation work the other way round?

Go for it Guy - keep things on the boil.

Have you checked the time on your computer today. I find listening to
the BBC time signal is quite a good way to check if the time is right
or not.

When you said that other people consider you a "thought-leader" on IT
matters - was it anything specific - or just IT in general?

Most odd - why did you say it?

There can be no doubt that a failure to wear a helmet may expose the cyclist to the risk of greater injury.

The wearing of helmets may afford protection in some circumstances and it must therefore follow that a cyclist of ordinary prudence should wear one.

I have these which show the time correct to a fraction of a second.

What? They're both more than two hours slow!


Still, even a stopped clock is right twice a day; they're evidently
worthy of more attention than the average troll.

The troll is unable to understand the difference between the clock
being right and the timezone being right. Yet another example of
its delight in displaying its ignorance - I wonder why it keeps
doing that?

Have you had the e-mail asking (or is it telling) you not to respond
to some people yet?

Oh I am sorry - are you saying that the time on the machine was
correct?

So you had your machine set to BST - but the time was correct - even
though we are not in BST?

Is that what being a thought-leader enables you to do?

You wouldn't be lying yet again would you?

I could see you were squirming.

So we are back to you saying the link was available at midnight -
when you wiki log shows that it wasn't.

I thought it was surprising that you had found a feasible solution.

You have said that you are God-squad - are you a left-footer?

Do you think it is OK to tell lies on here day after day - and then
fes up on a Sunday and it's all OK?
