This message is from: Lassesen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Patti Jo Walter: You are correct. A Japanese elderly woman was killed in the run-a-way. They thought it to be a bee that stung the horse, but they never knew why the gelding ran. At the Nordfjordeid Hotel, they have the regional yearbooks on the center bookshelves. The story was in one of the yearbooks. If you ever go back to Nordfjordeid... you can read about it (in Norwegian) there. Catherine Lassesen

RE: Briksdalen Glacier
This message is from: Dagrun Aarsten [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Patti Jo and everyone, yes, I heard about the accident with the Japanese people a few years ago, although I didn't remember anyone dying! The fjord people all over Norway were furious since it seemed to be a combination of green horse/unexperienced driver and should never have happened. It seems to be an age-old Norwegian tradition that when going up or down steep hills, the driver walks on the side to spare the horse. It is certainly not a thing to recommend... I have seen some wonderful partnerships between people and their horses, and then it doesn't bother me, when they are a team that has been working together for years and the horse is extremely reliable. Hmmm - did a web search and found some more information - there was an accident this summer with a horse bolting. This time with a driver with more than 30 years experience, but a relatively green horse. Nobody was able to explain why he bolted. The runaway horse and cart hit two other carts on the way, two carts tipped and the people fell out. Nobody was seriously injured but 9(!) people were taken to the hospital for checkups. All Korean this time. The horse and the other two horses involved were taken out of service immediately, and the spokesman only said that these things happen once in a while with live animals. People don't do lawsuits in Norway... But there was a reference to the accident you mentioned in 1999 and sure enough, one woman died after a week in hospital, of internal injuries (whatever that translates to in correct English). Pretty scary. I still haven't been to Briksdalen myself, I've just seen the pictures on all the postcards :-) It is gorgeous, and I am pretty sure I would risk it. Are the carts easy to jump out from...? Dagrun You gotta love Norway, in America they would have shut the place down, although I guess they don't know the meaning of getting hurt! Patti Jo Walter
