I can only assume he landed in such a way to snap the spine, head trauma, or worse landed where his arms / legs caused severe internal damage.

It sounds like he tumbled when the cage tipped and couldn't even attempt to brace/plan for impact.

I have a friend whose dad, probably also in his 50s based on the timing, was standing on a frozen lake watching a snowmobile race. Feet slipped out from under him, hit the back of his head on the ice from ~6ft up, and was dead before the paramedics arrived.

Wear your helmets, folks.
 
I mean I guess you can die landing just right from 6 inches.

My question is more how unlucky was he? Is that a one in a million, or a one in ten?
