For the first time, a young woman who fractured her skull while sledding is publicly sharing her experience.
Two years ago, Natalee Wells was sledding at Tibble Fork Reservoir in American Fork Canyon — a place families love to shred the slopes on their sleds.But that’s really all she can remember before her sled crashed.
“I went down a hill and hit a boulder at the bottom of the hill,” said Wells. “I ended up crushing the right side of my body.”Somehow, she was able to walk to the parking lot with the help of her friends, and they rushed her to the hospital.“I was amazed about how strong she is, but the injuries were just amazing too,” said Dr. Willardson. “It wasn’t just a small little thing — it was a life-threatening injury.
“It is a huge miracle and I am so grateful for how much I’ve been blessed, because I definitely shouldn’t be standing where I am today considering everything that happened,” said Wells. Though she grew up in Utah and went sledding through her childhood, Wells said the accident made her realize she needed to be more aware of her surroundings while out and about.While revisiting the place she crashed, emergency crews were called out to the same spot for an accident.“It breaks my heart,” said Wells. “I hope the outcome was just the same as it was for me.Lone Peak Fire Department responded to the call and said the 16-year-old left the reservoir in stable condition.
She also said the long-term trend shows more injuries, and she encourages people to take a helmet with them because it can make a huge difference.

The reason, Mark Pope thinks, is he's being bogged down by overthinking and position changes. The key for his success, though, may be playing more instinctively, even if it means emulating Christian Laettner.
