Podle sv\u011bdk\u016f k incidentu do\u0161lo na rozlehl\u00e9m cvi\u010dn\u00e9m h\u0159i\u0161ti, kde Ace str\u00e1vil nespo\u010det hodin zdokonalov\u00e1n\u00edm sv\u00fdch dovednost\u00ed. Co za\u010dalo jako rutinn\u00ed tr\u00e9nink, se rychle zm\u011bnilo v katastrofu.

P\u0159\u00e1tel\u00e9 a rodina popisovali Acea jako z\u00e1zra\u010dn\u00e9 d\u00edt\u011b v rodeov\u00e9 ar\u00e9n\u011b, n\u011bkoho, jeho\u017e v\u00e1\u0161e\u0148 pro lana\u0159stv\u00ed a jezdectv\u00ed se vyrovnala pouze jeho pokor\u011b a laskavosti. \u201e\u017dil pro okam\u017eik, kdy se lano setkalo s teletem,\u201c \u0159ekl jeden m\u00edstn\u00ed mentor a zadr\u017eoval slzy. \u201eAle v\u00edc ne\u017e to, Ace m\u011bl srdce dostate\u010dn\u011b velk\u00e9 na to, aby pozvedlo v\u0161echny kolem sebe.
