Agreed! Youtube is going to be taking down videos so if anyone wants to download a copy you can from my site.

It should be up in about 10 minutes.

What a sad, sad incident.

If it's as dangerous as all the other athletes are saying, why on earth are they still competing? I'd be shocked if they continue these luging events this olympics.

If you go to ctvolympics.ca you should be able to catch it there, although it is very tragic and hard to watch.

Sorry for moving this thread all over the place, I apparently can't click or read properly today.

They just showed it again on CTV and they are saying life threatening injuries still. The Sun is the only one reporting that he died.

I will emphasize as well how disturbing the video is. I have seen it twice and won't be watching it again.

Also worth mentioning - there was another athlete knocked unconscious earlier in the day. What sort of track is this? Clearly there are design flaws.
