Re: Coroner's verdict homicide in downhill skiing collision

At Jackson Hole, a downhill skier collided with a ski instructor. The
ski instructor was wearing a helmut. He would die.
 
The death was ruled a homicide. This is quite unusual. In skiing, the
burden is on the skier who is uphill to avoid the collision with the
person below. The coroner must have felt there was time and distance to
maneuver around and that failure to do so was criminally reckless.
