Exactly! This is what people need to understand. Its a luge track, the guy lost contol (happends everywhere), but losing control should not have such grave consequences.
Its like lining the downhill boundries with metal poles. Sure, the athlete should never come near them, but guess what? Loss of control + momentum = You going places that you don't want to
Also bear in mind this track is going to have kids and regular athletes going down it once the Olympics are over.
