This is a serious black cloud over these games.

There is no way that could have been considered reasonably safe. And this has nothing to do with hind-sight.

Unpadded steel beams at the exit of a major turn on a luge course? Come on. That's not right.

RIP

Edit: I'm acutally feeling really angry about this. It's completely unacceptable. There is no way something like should have happened. Completely preventable and completely negligent IMO. Shame on Van-OC!
