Yep, quite a bit of risk there

Surprised no one has died at xgames before this

yeah.  pretty sad story.  the crazy thing was he got up and walked away after it happened, didnt die until a couple days later.  they actually did a "do you question" segment on it the day it happened on Dan Lebotard is Highly Questionable, kind of joking about how his snowmobile went into the stands and people had to jump out of the way(no one was hurt obviously.)  When he passed away, it really came out of left field.  I dont think anybody was expecting it.

I'm amazed someone doesn't die at every X games.

Tragic.. I was expecting the snow mobile to have landed on him to cause such an injury, looks like the thing just threw him forehead first into the ramp.

edit:

So the article is saying it landed on him, but from what I'm seeing it literally flipped over him, but sprung him head first into the ramp.

RIP


Personally, I pretty much gave up on the XGames after they started having events with motors.
