It's interesting because I'm pretty good friends with a luge coach (who is at Whistler right now) and I remember him describing the Whistler course as challenging but never dangerous. Of course, with a sport such as luge, challenging will inevitably equate to dangerous.
Athletes are always getting better and track designers are tasked with making a course that meets the demands of the athletes. I honestly hold no blame for the designers of the course until I see further proof of negligence.
