Aussie man dies when hit by falling rock 27-Sep-2004 At 3:03:34 PM (removed)
Message
I met Nigel at a mutual friend's wedding a couple of months back. Very nice guy, This is a huge loss, a memorial service is being held next Tuesday. For the record, Nigel was a World Champion rogainer in 1998 (Calgary), and no-one saw the rock actually hit him - I spoke briefly with the guy who accidentally dislodged the fateful rock and who suffered lacerations in his achilles himself who confirmed this - so it's impossible to say whether a helmet would have helped (a glancing blow for example may not have been fatal with a helmet). Speculation doesn't help. There are numerous tributes to Nigel by closer friends than I on sleepmonsters.com and coolrunnings.com. He will be sorely missed by the whole multi-sport community.
