Olympic skier Sarah Burke dies

[kristie]

this is just terrible:

Following her tragic ski accident last week, Sarah Burke has died, her publicist confirms. She was 29 years old.

The Canadian ski pro had been in a coma since she crashed during a training run on the superpipe in Park City, Utah on Jan. 11.

Last Thursday she underwent successful surgery to repair a torn vertebral artery that caused bleeding between her brain and her skull, but remained comatose.

That's what happens when you throw yourself down a mountain on sticks.
