The legendary skier died in a Ski Base Jumping accident in Italian Dolomites at the age of 39.
"According to ESPN, McConkey experienced problems in the air after launching off a cliff with the expectation of deploying his parachute canopy and then gliding down to the ground. A witness said a ski failed to come off in the air, causing McConkey to spin out of control, preventing him from deploying his parachute."
My condolences go out to his family, wife and 3½-year-old daughter...
