Very sad. Given how fast that track it, those steel poles should have been padded or something...

The tragedy is obvious. There's another part of me that thinks of all the ways to leave this world, something everyone of us will do someday, doing it at the peak of our abilities in what we love to do is perhaps not the worst that can happen.
