If it has a bad rep athletes should have been saying they will not race on it. Obviously it was dangerous, as that's their sport, but if it was that dangerous why are athletes still going down it?

They have a corned named 50/50 by the lugers because there is a 50% chance you will even make it through. If you have a 50% chance of getting hurt why put yourself in that position?

It is clear there is a design flaw and the track is dangerous. It is your responsibility as an athlete to know your limits and not go if it isn't safe. It just seems like everyone wants to sue someone for every little accident. I just think some blame falls on the athletes who continue to go down it, make a stand if they are putting your life in danger.
