This borders on unbelievable. Michael Schumacher skiing 8 years ago, then Sunday it was Jeremy Renner attacked by his snow cat, and Monday a snowmobile got Ken Block. Be careful in that white stuff.

I still dont understand the Jeremy Renner thing.

Me neither. All I can think of (total speculation) is that he parked the snowcat on a steep slope, got out for some reason, and it rolled over him?

EDIT: The snowcat did start to roll after he got out, and he was injured while trying to get back in the cab to stop it. Details at link below:

News tonight said he was trying to help a relative and got off his snowplow and it started to roll/move. He attempted to climb back on and it rolled over him.
