It's a reasonable assumption that this is what caused her death. The aorta is the largest artery in the human body and extends from the heart down to the abdomen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aorta What has this got to do with her not wearing a Ski Helmet? The Aorta is nowhere near her head. Why is this article titled: "Skier with Ski Helmet Dies in Austria...."? Why is it not titled: "Skier without full Military Kevlar Body Armor Dies in Austria..."? Or "Skier without bunch of bananas on her head Dies in Austria..."? I think wearing a ski helmet is a sensible choice. But articles like this just make this site look stupid.
