Fourteen-year-old Haley Rose Gans of Colorado Springs, Colorado, died Friday, November 20, after reportedly skiing into a tree. Despite wearing a helmet— something that’s grown increasingly popular with resorts and skiers in recent years— blunt trauma to the chest may have doomed the girl. The Denver Post has the story.
