Actor - Ralph Macchio Dies In Snowboard Accident
           

THIS STORY IS STILL DEVELOPING...
Actor Ralph Macchio is reported to have died shortly after a snowboard accident earlier today - December 28, 2012.

The actor & novice snowboarder was vacationing at the Zermatt ski resort in Zermatt, Switzerland with family and friends. Witnesses indicate that Ralph Macchio lost control of his snowboard and struck a tree at a high rate of speed.

Ralph Macchio was air lifted by ski patrol teams to a local hospital, however, it is believed that the actor died instantly from the impact of the crash. The actor was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and drugs and alcohol do not appear to have played any part in his death.



Additional details and information will be updated as it becomes available. This story is still developing

I do not snow-board. Therefore, I am alive. In the event I was on a descending snow-board, the story may have indeed been accurate.

Went sking there many times.
I'm not so sure its true, loosing control while snowboarding but gathering enough speed to kill you? I can entirely believe that while you actual ski, but don't you fall down way before you gather any good speed on a snowboard?

Well, depending on snow conditions anything's possible. I once saw an uncle of mine shoot off the track. A large, wide, steep curve (built for speed) was completely iced over. Didn't matter what he did, he flew out hard while skidding on his side. I barely stayed on the course, even though I was going much slower. Luckily he had just gotten drunk at the restaurant at the top, and drunk people survive everything without a scratch. :)

Also: you should try Lenzerheide in winter.

You could tell it was fake from the " Snow boarding accident", because that seems to be the "in thing" to die from, or get hurt from. Ever since Liam Neeson's wife died on the slopes. And Arnold's son got hurt, you start to see more hoaxes.
