The skill displayed by drivers in the RallyCross competition at X Games, particularly with the jump, makes it easy to forget just how dangerous the sport can be.

Everyone was reminded of that earlier today, however, when Finnish driver and X Games rookie Toomas Heikkinen shorted the 50-foot gap, crashing into the steel ramp. HeikkinenÔÇÖs Fiesta eventually landed upside down, and fluids leaking from the car caught fire after he exited the car.

While the head-on crash looked devastating, X Games later reported that Heikkinen thankfully only suffered a broken ankle and minor abdominal pain. Needless to say, he isnÔÇÖt expected to participate in SundayÔÇÖs competition, although Travis Pastrana demonstrated last year that a broken ankle doesnÔÇÖt necessarily have to keep you out of a rally car.
