Teresa Buick Died After a Skating Fall
August 2003 in Calgary Canada |
|
43 year old Teresa Buick of Calgary Canada died on August 7, 2003 a few days after suffering a head injury during a skating fall. Earlier in the week she had been been inline skating at South Glenmore park when she fell backwards and hit her head. She wasn't wearing a helmet and suffered severe head trauma, which caused her death a few days later. Teresa's husband Jeff admits that a helmet might have saved her life, and he does not want other families to suffer a similar loss. "Helmets save lives" and that's the message he and his family hope others will hear. From Jeff Buick: "She was just absolutely loved by so many people and is not with us anymore for something as silly as a fifty dollar helmet, we made a mistake and I just hope that other people don't do it. Jeff is working with the Calgary Police and Alberta Children's Hospital to become a spokesperson for helmet safety.
