Krum's Caleb Moore Crashes at X-Games

Last Thursday at the Winter X-Games Caleb Moore failed to complete a snowmobile backflip and it ended badly. After initially walking away from the crash, Moore was taken to Aspen Valley Hospital with a concussion. He was later flown to Grand Junction's St. Mary's Hospital, where he underwent emergency heart surgery Friday morning after bleeding was discovered.

Now doctors are giving a grim prognosis. The bleeding caused complications to the brain injury. According to Moore's grandfather, Charles Moore, "It's almost certain he's not going to make it".


Moore's younger brother, Colten, was also injured at the games in Aspen on Thursday, suffering a separated pelvis.

UPDATE: Caleb Moore passed away Thursday morning. I started to pull the .gif of the crash in respect of the deceased, but decided to leave it up as a caution to anyone that might consider attempting this stunt. They need to fully understand the consequences.
