Found a more detailed article about the incident, a couple things:
-it was dark/night when this happened, so going that speed is really not safe
-it is an FAA approved airstrip, it’s on a private farm that allows snowmobiles to access/traverse the property. So IMO, the only other potentially negligent party is the farm owner, who this guy settled with for an unknown amount years ago.
It’s amazing he’s alive. He spent a month in the hospital. He was found face down in the snow by the crew.

65 isn't out of hand if riding on a trail which it sounds he was from the above.
There are signs along the trail for hazards, corners, etc. And if you have ridden the trail before obviously you know where the hazards are.
Until someone parks a black helicopter on said trail. In the dark.
You will not see that shite until it's too late.
