yeah it was apparent the real trouble was the speed involved and that one particular corner...they have completely covered up that area with a wall that would just dump anybody back onto the track and see them slide to a stop.
I think one of the biggest issues in years past in this sport wasn't just wrecking, as that has happened since the sport began, but the sled itself becoming a fast moving giant razor sharp blade that could do so much more damage than any wipeout would. I think that risk still applies, and will til they stop making luge runs.
Hopefully the rest of this thing goes off without major incident as I think there is a major kneejerk reaction going on in the face of a tragedy that no one can wrap their head around.
