Gwyneth Paltrow ski crash trial live stream: Watch actress take stand

Gwyneth Paltrow, the Hollywood actress and founder of lifestyle brand Goop, testified in a live-stream court case over a 2016 ski crash. The incident occurred at the Deer Valley Resort in Utah, where Paltrow was skiing with her family. A retired optometrist, Terry Sanderson, claimed she was the victim of a “hit-and-run” when Paltrow allegedly collided with her on the slopes. Sanderson filed a lawsuit against Paltrow for negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress, seeking $3.1 million in damages. Sanderson claimed she suffered a traumatic brain injury and four broken ribs from the supposed crash. On Monday, January 27th, Paltrow took the stand, questioning why she would intentionally ski into someone else. She argued that she did not collide with Sanderson and did not remember ever touching her during their near-miss. Paltrow also described the moments leading up to the incident, which she said happened as she and her family were skiing down a beginner slope. Paltrow’s legal team pointed out inconsistencies in Sanderson’s testimony regarding the speed and direction of the alleged collision. The trial continues to unfold as more testimonies are scheduled for the upcoming days. This case highlights some of the risks and liabilities that come with recreational activities like skiing. High-end resorts like Deer Valley are well-equipped with safety protocols, which often involve “Ski Patrol” teams that oversee the slopes and provide help in case of emergencies. However, accidents can still happen, and when they do, it is essential to assess who is at fault and who should be held accountable. Ski safety experts advise skiers to be aware of their surroundings, follow safety rules, and respect other skiers on the slopes- all in order to minimize risks and prevent accidents from happening in the first place.
