Helmets

The recent (silly) discussion on helmets has died out, so here is an article
to get it going again.

I liked this one. Was he wearing a helmet? Was the sheep?

Here is one about a cow....

"Fritzenwenger the cow-killer

Nowadays the roller-ski track at Ruhpolding is closed for a couple of
weeks in the Summer when the cows are grazing on it. But that was not
always the case: in 1987, biathletes and cows shared the track. There
is a descent in the circuit where a roller-skier can reach 70km/h.
Coming down this precipice one morning Herbert Fritzenwenger,
long-time member of the West German team, met a cow standing broadside
across the track. All he had time to do was turn his shoulder into it.
Herbert suffered a slight wrench to his shoulder. The cow died from
internal bleeding two days later. (Story related by Ricco Gross)"
