I just saw a news report that said that he wasn't wearing a helmet ... bad decision ...Sure wish they would provide more detail other than "he apparently collided with another skier at a crossing point on the slopes". Need more detail to learn from this. Was he wearing a helmet? Amazing the people I see not wearing a helmet, especially this time of season, that man made snow can be like concrete.
Any bets on who's details we will hear about first, this actor or Ron LeMaster's.Sure wish they would provide more detail other than "he apparently collided with another skier at a crossing point on the slopes".

I figured he was not wearing a helmet becuase the other guy was not hurt, they probably smacked heads.From AP:
"While skiing Tuesday afternoon at La Rosière resort, Ulliel collided with another skier on an intermediate slope after turning left, presumably to join his friends on an adjoining slope, Anne Gaches, the Savoie prosecutor in Albertville, said in a statement Wednesday.
Preliminary findings from an investigation indicated that “both skiers fell to the ground after the collision,” the prosecutor said. Ulliel was “motionless and unconscious when rescuers arrived,” while the other skier was unharmed, Gaches said.
The director of the La Rosière resort, Jean Regaldo, told BFM television that Ulliel was not wearing a helmet when rescuers arrived. Helmets are not required on French ski slopes but are strongly recommended."
