The animated reconstruction of Gwyneth Paltrow’s 2016 skiing accident made its way back to court on Tuesday — and one expert weighed in with his own crudely drawn sketches.
Dr. Irving Scher, a biomechanical engineering expert, illustrated the crash between the Academy Award-winning actress and 76-year-old retired optometrist Terry Sanderson with stick figures.
While referring to his childlike scribblings, Scher concluded that “Paltrow’s version is consistent with the laws of physics.”
The expert also disputed the version of events told by Craig Ramon, the sole eyewitness who claimed the actress hit Sanderson.
Scher then went over the computer animation introduced in court Monday, which lays out how Sanderson would have hit Paltrow while nearly everyone on the slope passed them before the accident.
