I've often wondered if that wild mane of his contributed to his head trauma.

I found a tribute video, which included footage of the crash, and when I saw how it was unfolding, I looked away and closed it. I don't really dig the "blood sport" aspects of racing. I know that potential for danger is what adds to the overall excitement, but I prefer to see them trade paint without incident. That just seemed horrific.
