People want to point at the beams and how unsafe the track is but we could have watched luge for the next X amount of days, saw those beams every single run for 100's of runs and not said a thing. It takes something like to realize how freak an accident can be and you can't prevent them all.
But I can see you are just trying to be a dick so continue on believing what you believe and I'll take the experts opinion on it.

Nothing to do with trying to be a dick, just find it hilarious that so many people are just willing to accept an afternoon's worth of investigation as being thorough and reliable.
And as I've said repeatedly, there's video of 2 other athletes slamming into the upper portion of that wall. I don't believe that it takes a freak accident for a person to be elevated an additional 8-12".
