Some people fall off a pedal bike and hit the ground just right and die, it happens. I think he was spinning pretty darn fast and could have been hit like the others said by the other rider, or he could have landed just right to cause major damage to his neck/head.
hopefully we'll get an update on the report for a cause of death.

Most people who die on motorcycles get hit by a car or run into a car that pulls out in front of them.
This person died in a controlled environment with EMS standing by waiting for something to happen.
Does this make you not want to ride a bike, or not do anything that has to do with motorsports? from drag, to oval to bikes to gokarts.....
sometimes chit happens.
With that being said, I've seen wrecks that look 10 times worse, gas tank leaking and catching on fire while the bike gets ripped to pieces as it flips, with the rider just walking away from it.
RIP to craig jones,
