A young girl who collided with a tre when skiing at Afton Alps ski area in Minnesota may have died had she not been wearing a helmet, according to a doctor who treated her. The 6 year old broke her nose and leg, but a dent in her helmet appears to indicate it saved her from more serious head trauma.
"The helmet is probably the thing that saved her from truly serious injury, " said Dr Michael McGonigal who treated the girl. He hoped Julia's accident would offer an example to parents about the difference a helmet can make. "You've got to get them tuned in with the people that are doing it, and probably one of the most important things is to get them involved in wearing those things at a very young age, so it's just a natural thing."
