damn! that's a bit shocking. He's also older than I thought he was.

apparently Jeremy Renner was also sent to the hospital with serious chest contusions after a snowmobile accident the other day?

Snowmobiles can really eff you up, especially considering obstacles in/under snow, ungroomed paths, and often doing it poor conditions.

Man I just saw this story on CNN. That guy was epic in everything he did and will be sorely missed. Nobody hoons better than Ken.

RIP Ken. Most people don't get to check out doing what you love. He was hooning it up on a powerful snowmobile and backflipped it onto himself.

Dead at the scene, can only hope it was quick. I'll never forget the first couple Gymkhana videos in the Subarus.
