Just so sad. Was an icon and inspiration to so many and just built a brand that's known globally. Also seemed to be a genuine good person and great family man. A staggering loss.

News reports state he was killed when his sled upended and crushed him.

Had to look up what upended mean, hopefully he died instantly and didnt suffer like Paul Walker did.
Very sad to hear, the man had young kids... it was eerie to see his Instagram story 10hrs before he died.

Man could he pilot a vehicle sideways. Sad news indeed.
Pretty risky career, but I assume he loved every second of it.

Very sad to hear but I’m sure he died with a smile on his face.
While I was sick last year I watched a gymkhana series on Netflix, pretty cool to see what goes into it all, the man had cool ideas and skills to match.
