Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili dies from crash
HaRuMaN:
Story Here
It seems like there has been some concern that the track was unsafe, too fast, etc...
Ginsu Victim:
I just watched the video on youtube and that track is horrible. Whoever designed that just didn't think it through very well.
The comments on the video are bad. "LOL" "ROFL" "DO A BARREL ROLL!"
Pathetic.
CheffoJeffo:
That's terrible.
We used to maintain a corporate office in Whistler (well, that's the official line we threw to customers ... we just like to ski) and the mention of him being transported to the hospital in Whistler kinda threw me. When my business partner's son hit a tree (little kid on bunny slopes) in Whistler, he was airlifted to Vancouver. I know the organizers wanted to build a mobile hospital for the games, but never heard what happened to that idea.
Hoopz:
Tragic.
I don't want to sound unsympathetic, but I wonder whether they'll change the course, leave it as is, or even have the competition? I can't think that they can run it as is from a liability standpoint.

When you're involved in a sport that involves going mach 3 millimeters off the ice, someones gonna get hurt.
