Easily a lawsuit under professional liability. There is no way that should be allowed.
Unlikely, there is an inherent risk in such a sport as luge. I don't think there is much precedence for it. I am sure it will be talked about, but at the end of the day when you take off down a steep hill at high speed in any sport there is a chance you could be seriously injured or killed.

Very sad and puts a pall on the opening ceremonies. RIP.
