Anyone found the actual cause of death other than 'unsurvivable injuries'. Morbid curiosity.
 
The car flipped up and slammed helmet-first into the barrier fence at almost full speed. I'd guess neck/spine.
 
Yeah, can't watch that shit without tearing up, and I'd like to think I'm not a bitch. Shit like that gets to me and hits pretty close to home, almost as much as seeing an escorted flag-draped coffin.

May he rest in peace. I just hope the rules don't change now because of this, because it couldn't have been prevented -- racing is dangerous business.
