Actually it's not an attempt to shift blame. It is about talking about the risk involved with the sport. What's pathetic is people wanting to sue for every thing that happens in this world, without accounting in the risks involved with it.
Wow some people are taking what I'm saying too seriously. I'm not saying the luger is to blame, I'm not saying VANOC doesn't have some blame, what I'm saying is that when you play any sport there is a risk involved. It isn't like this is breaking news that the track is dangerous.
You can miss the games, or you can take your chances. I agree if I was an athlete I would be going down that track regardless because this is what I worked for but it doesn't mean I should blame everyone else if I get hurt or die from it.
I'm just glad most athletes understand that there are risks involved with a sport and you can't go suing people just because something bad happens. Something bad happens everyday!
