Considering he athletes are dying in much higher rate than the rest, I would say there is an element of stress/blood pressure etc. I know that whenever I fly, the pressure is pretty intense during landing (esp over the lastfew years) and it hurts my ears like crazy. Even empty water bottles with caps on get crushed often. Wonder if this does anything to the blood pressure as well.
