Yeah, it is never good when your sled lands on top of you after you flip off of it. Sorry to hear this news.
There have been a few deaths among the x-games athletes if I am not mistaken and they are all so damn young.

Not too many older people are crazy enough to attempt this stuff.

Prayer to the family, but can you really expect any different when your flying into the air doing flips on a snowmobile?! If this was in a car it would be exclusively done by Evil Kneivel....

Side Note, does Sonny Bono get a spot on that mountainside even without the motorized snow riding vehicle?

Yes, but I have seen some other deaths in training accidents and possibly other
events. I wondered about that when I posted it originally. Thanks for the clarification.

Too bad for the guy and his family.

The chick that replaced Extension 720 kept going on about how we idolize people who enter the X-Games, even though they are basically committing suicide by participating. And we love them for it because we all have bloodlust. That the X-Games doesn't care about safety - except for having paramedics on hand. Mariotti-esque stuff. Would love to see what her numbers are in comparison to Extension 720 - they can't be any better.

I think a few of the motorcycle big air guys have died as you said in other events and or practice and I think maybe a skier/snowboarder in Europe.
