They're Doing the Luge 24 hours after a Guy Just Died
    #12025254 -

Lugers complained about the track before the death.  And all the IOC did was put some pads on the steel bars and shorten the track to the women's track.  Still, people are coming in the finish line at 88-90 MPH.

A pad going 90 to 0 in a split second will not made a difference.

We're so gonna see more severe injuries or a death on the Luge.

They're just making sure that it's only the best who'll win. It is the Olympics after all.

yeah well maybe these guys and gals should improve their luging?

i realize that this sport is dangerous but if you want your face on a box of Kazakhstani Wheaties you best suck it up and go for the gold.

I'm trying to find the actual video and the IOC probably banned it on Youtube.

Yeah, but man.  Why are there steel poles just outside of the final turn where everyone is going 88-90 MPH?

Luge death is no big deal.  I want to see someone die while curling.

You can find the video, just look up luge accident. 90 to 0 in a split second, the only thing stopping him was a freaking steel I beam. When you see the video I can't understand why just coming out of that turn they didn't bank it more, it looked like an accident waiting to happen. The sound of his head hitting was sickening its self.

yeah, I hear that its the most dangerous luging course ever. they put padded guard rails up post accident. my bet is that this athlete's family gets paid out lawsuit style.

I love how the IOC says it was human error and not their fault at all.

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/vancouver/luge/news?slug=ap-lug-lugerdies&prov=ap&type=lgns

The IOC is the most corrupt organization in sports.

They're getting rid of Baseball and Softball in the 2012 Olympics just because America always wins.

the law has never seen a waiver it really likes. i've seen the organizers of bicycle race events
get sued when a cyclist, for whatever reason, hits a car crossing the racecourse.
