I am still trying to cope with how this young man passed away . Been snowmobiling my whole life in WI and the U.P.
Thousands and thousands of miles on the trails - I have seen everything on the trails , and in the bush
Honestly your life flashes by you every time your on a snowmobile , inches away from trees , inches away from other sleds , sometimes at well over a 100 mph
Offtrail , buried tree stumps , rocks etc
I have lifted sleds off myself , wife , friends , so many times I lost count
I see possibly he was highmarking with friends in the mountains - Where was his friends ? What was he wearing for protective gear ? I would obviously assume a helmet , a chest protector ?
Man the only conclusion I can think of , he was knocked unconscious by the sled on top of him , couldn’t breathe buried in the snow in the mountains
Maybe a handle bar hit him in the chest or
He had to know the area well from what I have read
Man so sad - Sorry for going off topic , but just trying to put the pieces together
I young man that lived on the edge constantly, and then to die on a snowmobile in the mountains
God Bless Him , and his family
