We need to build an army of these for our future battles against the soviets in the Siberian winters.

Sometimes stuff like this makes me think that it's not a good idea to do back flips on large pieces of machinery.

It's too bad the guy died, but I watched that clip and that seems like the dumbest and most boring sport on earth. You jump a snowmobile off a ramp and then stand on your seat. Big deal. You jump a ramp and then spin on your seat. Was anybody still watching when he tried the flip?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

How we come up with these "sports" I have no idea. Are we really this bored as a nation?

This year's X-Games have been a blood bath.

He died. His younger brother separated his pelvis on the same jump and I believe is still in the hospital. Another guy came off his snowmobile in the air, lodged the throttle and rocketed it into the crowd before falling 30 feet to the ground (remarkably, no major injuries). A woman severed her lower lumbar and is partially paralyzed, another guy came off a board and fell about 40 feet down and landed on his dome; carted off the hill unconscious but evidently only a concussion.

It certainly appears that this year has shown us where the line is because this number of injuries appears to be far beyond the pale.

Since we can't kill Nascar drivers any more and since boxers have to use gloves, I guess this is seeking to fill that niche. It's never been the same since the Romans shut down the Colosseum.

Roger Goodell is doing some consulting for the X games next time around, nothing to worry about.

RIP dude.

I was watching last Thursday and i literally jumped up off the couch and yelled out when i saw the accident. Couldn't believe he walked away.

Tragic...RIP.

He needed more PEDs I guess. Where's Ray Lewis when you need him?

And I think global warming played a hand in this too.

Sorry, that was mean... I'll pray for his family and loved ones...

Molitoth 01-31-2013 03:31 PM
Sad. =(
Poor Kid and family.

Good Lord, i didnt know about all of that.

It will surely get worse as people continue to push the boundaries.
