Very sad. I watched the replay multiple times, trying to figure out if the snowmobile struck him. Initially, it looked survivable, but it appears that that the snowmobile's nose struck him in the head/chest area. Always hard to understand when those with head injuries are able to walk away, but succumb later to the injuries. Seems like it happens more often than one would think.

Sad. RIP. Condolences to the family.
its definitely an extreme event, with most tricks having zero margin of error
especially those free style tricks be it on a motorcycle or snowmobile. they go a couple stories up in the air and pretty much rely on the machines suspension and their legs to "cushion" the landing

Pardon my ignorance, but who is Wade Moore?
I know about Caleb and the accident, I just don't know anything about his dad

Wondering the same thing. Although, I think crunch may have just been doing a play on "T Boone Pickens Grandson has died."

Ahh... well if there's ever a time for humor, it's children's deaths

Not that it's not tragic, but I think he was 25 years old doing something he knew had a high risk of injury and possible death.

Head and chest injuries can take time to develop. Thus, they get up and walk away. From what I heard, he developed cardiac tamponade as well as a bleed in his head.
Cardiac tamponade is when there is bleeding into the stiff sack that surrounds the heart. As the blood collects around the heart, it compresses it so that it cannot fill adequately and pump blood. If it develops due to trauma, it can come on rapidly or sometimes be a bit delayed. It is lethal if not diagnosed and treated rapidly.
The head bleed can be a few different things depending on where the bleeding is occurring. It can cause rapid deterioration in some cases or sometimes it can be delayed by several hours as the blood collects and compresses normal brain. In addition, with brain trauma, swelling develops leading to increased pressure and compression/disruption of vital brain functions. Surgery to open the bony part of the brain and allow the pressure to subside can sometimes be lifesaving.
So it is not that odd that he initially got up and walked away despite serious injuries. Some news reports said there may have also been a complication in his care. Perhaps they meant that the initial diagnoses were not made quick enough to treat through surgical intervention before the damage was already too far advanced.
Very sad story no matter the details. Seeing the types of stunts they do at the x games, I am surprised that this is the first death.

Interesting... thanks for the info.
The best man in my wedding is an ER doc. I don't see him as often since college, but I'd say in his 10+ years of practicing medicine, he has become noticeably more religious. I suppose the moral here is that sometimes these events are out of his hands (notwithstanding medical advances), and he can only hope like the rest of us.

I see no humor in either death. Riggs was right.
Like Jake said, "Not that it's not tragic, but I think he was 25 years old doing something he knew had a high risk of injury and possible death." Applies to both of them.
Wade Moore is nobody.

Pretty callous statement, although I don't think you meant it that way. Today, Wade Moore is a grieving father.

Exactly.

I will cut someone off at the knees for making light of something like that.
