A six-year-old girl died in hospital Sunday night after being involved in an incident at the Val-Saint-Côme ski resort in Lanaudiere. Quebec police are investigating, though details into the event are not yet known. Officers indicated that it involved a T-bar lift, but they were not able to say...

1. At the time of this accident a world cup freestyle event was taking place. I'm sure they had advanced paramedics on hand.
2. What happened? T-bar hit her in the face, the head. Hung by a scarf? Fell off and slid into the post?

So many questions. So sad though.

Update: Preliminary reports suggest the girl’s jacket hood became entangled with the T as she unloaded. At this time authorities do not believe the lift malfunctioned. The T-Bar remains closed at this time.

After this I'm going to ensure my kids jackets don't have hoods. This is so horrible.

Some are detachable.

How tragic! My kids have detachable hoods but I don’t think our shells do. Could happen to anyone.
