Wow, she's right!! I don't mean to sound trite, but I'm glad she's looking a bit better than she was a couple of years ago. I know she continues to suffer and that is such a horrible tragedy. However, she IS glad to be alive! If only those 3 men had not lost their lives!!

Karen Magnusson Speaks After Tragedy at Rink
"At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more, When he bares his teeth, winter meets its death, And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.” (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis)

I hope arenas across the land have a program of refrigeration inspection that will make sure this never happens again. The accident and it's consequences should be part of any training that inspector's receive. That way they'll not only go through the motions of checking their systems, but they'll make sure their checks are complete and thorough.
Best wishes to Ms Magnusson for improved health. She's a Canadian heroine.

Re: Karen Magnusson Speaks After Tragedy at Rink
The recent event in Fernie was very sad, with the loss of the 3 workers. Thankfully it wasn't any worse, involving skaters, coaches, or members of the public.
I remember that Karen was fighting for some form of worker's compensation but never heard if she was successful. As I recall, there was a question about who she was employed by, etc. I certainly hope she was!
I certainly hope that steps will be taken to prevent any further injuries or loss of life from this cause
