Not a cool way to start off the games at all.

@O-D-C yeah skip the video, it's gut wrenching (didn't follow my own advice)

OT my heart goes out to the friends, family and teammates of this young man.

I can't even get the video to work.

Awful to see anyone die, but he had a dangerous profession.

Sad story especially for the family, but you've got to know that you're taking a big risk when going at these speeds without any protection at all.

It was horrible when I first saw it - the picture itself was bad when I first saw it on sportsnet.

It is a dangerous sport, but the track is supposedly the most dangerous track in the world - those two things together don't go so well together. They are apparently adding 4 feet of glass on the sides of the turn where he crashed. Hopefully they have a moment of silence for him,
