It was his 2nd race, whipped it or got sideways off a jump and didn't get it back straight and crashed and his helmet either split or broke and came off, he was landed on and run over by several bikes. Sad Track medical crew did a all they could do and were able to bring him back a couple times and they also did a emergency tracheostomy. The medical crew did a outstanding job to at least get him to the flight for life to even have a shot.

I mention the crew because unless you have been there, you don't understand.

I have been there, and it really messed me up for a couple of weeks. We worked on this individual for over an hour, his family was on the way from his hometown, and we all knew what they were going to deal with when they got to the track. Sad part was when they went to his truck, he had a Brand New Chest Protector on his front seat. He passed from major chest trauma. Not buying or selling, but I would definitely like my chances with protective equipment vs. nothing. This has no bearing on the Helmet that this person had on. I pray for him and his family
