The risks to playing with a caged tiger or jumping into a river are quite plain to see. A construction site is not designed to be fun, and doesn't usually carry the same degree of foreseeable harm as a speeding tunnel towards a brick wall.

In my eyes, the entrance to the tunnel of death needs to be heavily locked and barricaded when it is not being securely supervised. Anything short is negligence by creating a serious fatal risk to all persons in the vicinity.
Its been mentioned in this thread already, the entrance to the track is a small building that has both a man-door and a garage door for, get this, Bobsleds.

So they have to climb the fence, get to the top of the track, break into the building, remove the starting gate and then they're ready to go.

It isnt just trespassing, its Breaking and Entering as well so it takes a misdemeanor and an intermediate felony just to get to the start.

And calling it a 'Death Trap' is disingenuous because I dont think anyone has ever died on it before in its 30+ year history.

So if its a death trap its a pretty lousy one by trapping no one to their deaths up until now.
