Sad news indeed.
I saw the video as well and there's no way a brace would have helped, as least that's my guess.
I actually saw another YouTube video of him crashing the same jump in the X Games (was that this past year?).
Zac Willet posted a release today about contributing 20% of his T-shirt/product sales would go to the AthleteRecoveryFund.
Since the tragic death of 2008 X Games Gold Medalist - Jeremy Lusk from a event in Costa Rica, the ZW47 Method Clothing line is participating in a charitable manner. 20% of all sales will be sent directly to ARF (AthleteRecoveryFund.com
"We are a rider's company and realize that the limits are being pushed to the edge further and further everyday, we as professional athletes should be recognize how gnarly moto really is - in any discipline. So we decided we should step up and help those who are at financial need because of an accident." says, Zac Willett.
