Again, I don't think it's the responsibility of others to bubble wrap everything that could hurt a person who is hell bent on doing something stupid.
Short of filling the entire run with concrete at the end of each day, nothing was going to keep out people who had it in their mind that they wanted to take a run down the hill.
It's in the same breath as the jackpots who jump tiger enclosures at zoos, get mauled and then people start screaming it's somehow the zoos fault.

As I posted earlier, a reasonable person knows a tiger is liable to eat you if you jump in the tiger enclosure.
A reasonable person expects that if you were to jump in the luge track you might or even probably will, end up crashing and getting banged around a bit. But a reasonable person would not expect to slam into a steel barrier blocking the track. This is evidenced by the fact almost no one who has posted in this thread even knew such a barrier existed, myself included.
As Vlad posted, winsport needs to be more to make knowledge of the barrier known to potential users of the track as it is a hidden danger.
