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.

Umm, because not going down it means not participating in the olympics?? It's not the athletes responsibility to ensure that the track is safe, it's the designers responsibility. What a pathetic attempt to shift blame.
