Helmets
The recent (silly) discussion on helmets has died out, so here is an article
to get it going again. http://www.fasterskier.com/training.php?id=1354 Scott |

I liked this one. Was he wearing a helmet? Was the sheep? http://www.fasterskier.com/training.php?id=1368 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.
