Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 You're going to regret thatYeah, it was brutal. Very very lucky that he knew enough to tell his fellow rider where and how to apply pressure. Would have been a very different result otherwise
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Looking at the comments string on Pinkbike, it seems as if it was a total freak accident. One of the commenters was reportedly after him on the trail

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Taken from that article: Ball said that competitors quickly notified on-site medics of Olson’s situation, adding that although a medic was at the scene via motorbike “within minutes,” Olson’s injuries “were such that he could not be saved.” According to a press release issued by the Mt. Crested Butte Police Department, “two interval riders following the victim immediately began CPR and continued for approximately 30 minutes with race personnel arriving at the scene and continuing CPR for a minimum of 30 minutes longer. A paramedic, transported by Care Flight helicopter, arrived on the scene and pronounced the rider deceased.” Asked if there were any indication what might have caused the crash, Ontiveros replied: “We’re presuming that maybe he clipped a pedal…. He was probably going about 20 to 25 mph. The section where he crashed had a chicane, around some trees. A rider came upon him laying face down. There was no indication of head injury, and no real damage to his bike. It appears to have been a blunt force trauma to the chest.” Ontiveros added that Olson, 40, who raced in the Vet Expert 30+ category, was “one of the most talented riders in Colorado, riding near pro level.” “He had raced our events before, he had ridden in Crested Butte, and he was one of the riders expected to win that category,” Ontiveros said. “He was very skilled, a local Colorado guy … a positive soul. I think this was just a freak accident.” Read more at http://velonews.competitor.com/2015/08/news/crash-kills-competitor-in-colorado-round-of-enduro-world-series_380290#rg82cWy4XyfRxjK8.99
