OT- X Games snowmobiler dies
Not sure how many watched the XGames, but i'm sure there are avid snowmobilers on this site, and we all know the dangers. Caleb Moore, 25, died today from injuries suffered during his trick attempt at the Games. Didn't look that bad if you watched, especially after he got up and walked off on his own. Had some bleeding around his heart, but it was brain damage that apparently became fatal. Sad day.
P.S. his younger brother was also in the XGames and seperated his pelvis. Scary.

My older brother was an avid snowmobiler until one of his buddies took their own head off going too fast and hitting a barbed wire fence or a steel cable or something. I don't remember the details it was 30 years ago. They are a lot of fun, but I would never get on one after that. Its just a fact that these machines while not inherently dangerous by themselves, can be turned into death machines just like cars or motorcycles with hubris or carelessness or in many cases, a momentary lapse of awareness.

His death makes me wonder about the medical treatment he received.
