His death is very sad indeed. Echo Jedi's comments about dying doing something he loved though. If you've got to go (as we all have!), far better that it was doing something he loved.
The comments made against the person who posted the link to the video… WTF are you guys on? The video is shocking indeed, pretty gut wrenching to be fair, but so much better that something can be learned from watching it and measures taken to make sure it can't happen again surely?
Again though, how the hell were ANY exposed hazards that could potentially kill allowed to get through in the first place. Hindsight is indeed a wonderful thing, but surely someone must have looked at that and said "these guys are doing 90mph coming down here, that's an exposed hazard that would stop them instantly resulting in pretty much certain death, perhaps we should cover it over?"??? 🙄
