[Rusty Heap]

The guy died doing what he loved.

The steel pole wasn't to fault, it's 90 mph feet first on a non-steerable sled and he missed the apex of the turn and yeah, 90 mph to 0 in .2 seconds.

He bought the ticket, took the ride, and accepted the consequenses, don't blame the track designers, padding the pole wouldn't of helped, nor moving the poles back 40 feet...just as don't blame porsche for oversteer in a rear engine car.

Life's short, he died doing what he loved. Cheers and I salute him for his skill and bravery.

I mean who remembers the openning of the Wide World of Sports, the "agony of defeat" with the skier major losing it tumbling off the ski ramp.

fail happens.
