    Snowmobiler in critical condition after Winter X

    DENVER (AP) -- Snowmobiler Caleb Moore was in critical condition Tuesday in a Colorado hospital after a dramatic crash at the Winter X Games in Aspen, and a relative said the family wasn't hopeful about the 25-year-old's chances for survival.
    Moore was performing a flip Thursday when he clipped the top of a jump and went over the handlebars and landed face first into the snow. The snowmobile rolled over him, but he walked off with help and went to a hospital with a concussion.
    Moore later developed bleeding around his heart and was flown to a hospital in Grand Junction for surgery. The family later said that Moore, of Krum, Texas, also had a complication involving his brain.

    I think it is really a damn shame that people have to kill themselves in order to compete in the XGames.. at what point will people say enough is enough - or at what point will XGames be held liable? anyway this is just really sad news..
