Salus, I was out skiing last week. A father and his five year old son were waiting infront of me for the next ski chair to arrive. As the chair approached, the two of them tried to move forward to the line where they needed to be to get on the chair. As they were moving forward, the five year old slipped and the ski lift swung forward at the exact same time and hit the child on the head. The child was thrown five feet with the impact. Luckly for both of them, ski helmets are compusory for kids here in Canada. Else, that ski trip could have turned into a life long disaster for the two of them.
