I don't wish to urinate on your parade but Burns died of a brain tumour and McRea in a helicopler crash, not realy career related.

wtf?

How can you say "it comes with the territory", then give 3 examples, only one of which actually dies while partaking in his chosen career/sport?

Mcrae died in a helicopter crash, which could happen to anyone in a heli...

Burns died of brain cancer.... Also nothing to do with rallying!

Back to topic... very sad news, but anyone taking part in fmx knows the risks.

Doing a double seat grab backflip, he under rotated and landed with the bike 90 degrees nose down, head first into the ground

Nasty, poor sod. Always thought the backflip would end in tragedy. It is an amazing thing to see, but i don't think you could win a freestyle comp now without a backflip combo
