At the 2010 Winter Olympics Jeret ‘Speedy’ Peterson successfully landed his signature “Hurricane” maneuver (5 twists, 3 flips) to win the silver medal. A year later, Speedy was found dead in Lambs Canyon, Utah from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

In honor of Jeret ‘Speedy’ Peterson and National Suicide Prevention Week, check out The Speedy Foundation and help end suicide.
