I don't think I had heard of this before. Does anyone know anything more?

According to David Wilkey, assistant director of the Utah High School Activities Association, the death about five years ago of an assistant prep coach in southern Utah "scared the daylights" out of school officials around the state and spurred changes in high school pole vaulting. The coach was killed while demonstrating pole vaulting techniques.

I have not heard about this death before. One would think that there would be newspaper articles in the Utah papers contemporary with the accident.

I also would be very interested to know, as Paul Harvey says, "The Rest of the Story."
