Winter X Games freeskier C.R. Johnson dies in skiing accident at Squaw Valley February 25, 2010 | 12:03 pm C.R. Johnson died Wednesday on the slopes at Squaw Valley USA after hitting his head on a rock outcropping, the Associated Press reports. Johnson, 26, was skiing with a group of friends when he fell while trying to negotiate a “very, very tight, rocky area,” in a part of the resort known as the Light Towers area, said Jim Rogers, a member of the resort’s ski patrol. Johnson fell face-first, then spun around and struck the back of his head on rocks. Johnson was wearing a helmet at the time of the fall, but Rogers said the helmet took a serious blow. The ski patrol was contacted shortly before 2 p.m. and tried to revive Johnson on the slopes, but were unsuccessful, according to Placer County Sheriff’s Lt. Jeff Ausnow.

What makes you think you will? Or what makes you think you may not definitely die? (2 answers – asked 20 months ago) A: Only from observation and personal loss does death seem to be a reality. Just from living, you learn about death. All things in our sphere of knowledge end, and that means end of life as we know it. We have known relatives and friends that have died, and seen them in the casket. But of course they have been made to look “live”, and we may have a hard time believing the death. If you were in the military during war-time, you may have a better understanding, because the dead you see there don’t usually look “live”. As my children grow up, I seem to be more aware of my mortality, and hope that I am still alive to see my grandchildren. Do you have a feeling that you just can’t seem to shake about how you’re going to die? I don’t know how to explain it, but I just have this feeling that I’m going to die in a car wreck. I’m not really sure why I feel that way. …… (3 ans
