Caleb Moore seriously injured

Wow, did they explain any details? Because if you watch the slow mo, it doesn't look deadly bad; the one ski hits him and it should only be displacing 200 lbs of the machine or a little higher due to the downward motion. The only thing I can think is that when the ski hit his head, his body was still turning and the ski forced a fractured spine but he seemed to still have voluntary motion in hands and legs and awareness after. Anybody know if it was brain trauma, broken spine, or other impact trauma causing organ failure?

Hi
Very sad case
Moore was diagnosed with a concussion at a local hospital, where doctors later discovered internal bleeding around his heart, according to the Denver Post. He was taken by helicopter to St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado, for emergency surgery. A family spokesman told ESPN on Jan. 28 that the cardiac injury led to a “secondary complication” involving his brain.
Take care and ride safely dear friend
Yours Hank
