To lose Ken in this manner...just doesn't seem right. Much like Michael Schumacher who was left in a vegetative state following a skiing accident, after having had such a stellar career in F1 racing. It's sometimes the simple or seemingly harmless things that get you. Ken was amazing to watch, his car control...none better.

I made the exact same parallel. Very similar, in the snow, on their retirement side of their careers, enjoying family and friends, just having a good time. Totally sucks!

Horrible, apparently out riding with his family. Sheriff says he was going up a steep hill and the snowmobile upended. I ride and that happens often. Hard to believe after all his years of living on the edge...R.I.P. Ken
