Brain injury is a terrible thing, no doubt about it! \u00a0There are so many times when music can greatly assist in brain-related injuries and disorders. I’ve written in this space about music with strokes, dementia and Parkinson’s disease. But when one has a sports-related injury to the head that could have been prevented or greatly minimized by wearing a helmet, it’s doubly tragic. Why Natasha Richardson did not wear a helmet is unknown, but the reasons most people give are:
\nIt’s too heavy
\nIt obstructs my vision
\nIt ruins my hair
\nI’m just going on a short run
\netc., etc.<\/p>\n

Here’s the story, as quoted in the New York Post:<\/p>\n

Actress Natasha Richardson<\/span><\/a> is brain dead – after falling in a ski accident in Canada – and is now on sad journey home to New York, friends told The Post today.
\nRichardson, who was being treated at a Montreal hospital, is being transported to New York this afternoon so her mom Vanessa Redgrave, two children and other loved ones can say goodbye before she’s taken off life-support, friends said.<\/p>\n

If you ski, ride a bike, skateboard, snowboard or do any sport where helmets are recommended, please<\/em><\/strong><\/span> put on a helmet! Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
