A professional extreme skier who competed in the Winter X Games died Wednesday after he fell and hit his head on a rock outcropping while taking a run down a steep chute at California's Squaw Valley.
C.R. Johnson, 26, was skiing with a group of friends when he fell while trying to negotiate a "very, very tight, rocky area," said Jim Rogers, a member of the Lake Tahoe-area resort's ski patrol. He fell face-first, then spun around and struck the back of his head on rocks. Johnson was wearing a helmet, but Rogers said the helmet took a serious blow.
"Professional extreme skier". Please. Tell Obama there's a job open in California.

"Johnson was wearing a helmet, but Rogers said the helmet took a serious blow."
I'm going to make a wild leap here and suggest that Johnson took a more serious blow than the helmet.
