This article has more info. He was obviously not clumsy kid. Captain of hockey team, skiing for years. Death was due to head injury. No helmet.
Even though he was not wearing a helmet, it is pretty scarily to think that somebody this athletic can die on this particular trail. It is not steep and it S turns through the wood, so you cannot go that fast to begin with. It is very disturbing incident. |
Well, you
shouldn't go fast there, at least relatively speaking. But alot of times, those turns are scraped and hairy. And, you put multiple people on there doing their own thing, and it can get ugly. I've been on that trail with a bunch of people around me in less than perfect control going into the corners and suddenly found myself at the edge of control because of it, and thinking about those trees. I actually did wipe out on it pretty goo once, but didn't leave the trail -- only my head did, and if I'd not been wearing a helmet the tree I smacked would've done damage.
