There is a another funny story that is related to his famous ski jump crash.Years later Vinko Bogataj was on in his way to do a TV interview on ABC sports when he was involved in a very minor car accident.Responding later to the accident he replied.
"Everytime I'm on ABC,I crash."

I remember this, it used to be on the theme intro of wide world of sports
-
I believe Bud Palmer and former U.S. Olympic ski jumper rt Devlin were the commentators at the ski jump event where Bogataj fell.
-
If "Wide World" were still on the air today, chances are Vinko Bogataj's ski jump would no longer be "{The Agony Of Defeat".
It probably would be replaced by the crash that cost J.R. Hildebrand the 2011 Indianapolis "500".

Didn't he once do an American Express TV commercial in which he said "Do you know me?? Every Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, I fall off a ski jump".
I believe Bud Palmer and Art Devlion (the latter a former U.S. ski jump champ and an Olympian) were the commentators at that event.

This happened in 1971 he retired from ski-jumping 20 years later.

Vinko didnt die from what he did. He didnt even have any injuries. You are comparing apples to oranges.
