Default X-Games participant dies in competition

http://sports.espn.go.com/xgames/news/story?id=8901435

'Snowmobile rider Caleb Moore died Thursday morning from injuries suffered in a crash at Winter X Games in Aspen.

In a statement, Moore's family said: "He will be truly missed and never forgotten. The family wishes to express their deep gratitude for all the prayers and support they have received from all the fans, friends and family around the world that Caleb has inspired."

The 25-year-old was performing a flip Thursday when he clipped the top of a jump and went over the handlebars. The snowmobile rolled over him, but he walked off the course with help and went to a hospital with a concussion.
While there, he developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to Grand Junction for surgery Friday. His family said Sunday that Moore then had a secondary complication involving his brain. They didn't provide details. He had been in critical condition."


This might be rough to watch ...
