James McLean, a 33-year-old podiatrist from Leawood, Kansas, apparently died on his snowboard after he “went airborne” then landed on the top of his head while riding in the Park Lake Terrain park on January 20, 2008 at Breckenridge, Colorado.
Breckenridge Ski Patrol got the call around 2 p.m. and took McLean to the Breckenridge Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. The coroner said he died from a fractured neck. McLean was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, police spokesman Nick DeFord said.
