    What I don’t get about this sport is … lets go extremely, dangerously fast on this tiny sled down an ice chute on a HALF PIPE!!! … where it’s half a tube and that if you ever fly off or go out of control, you’ll fly out of the tube and your squishy meat popsicle self will get thrown around like a rag doll.

    If they want these guys running this fast in this situation … they should have a FULL PIPE and we should be watching them run down as fast as possible inside a glass or plexiglass tube … and when they do lose their shit, they can just fly down the tube until they stop.

    EDIT: for context this is what happens when you lose control on these tiny sleds … this is 21 year old Nodar Kumaritashvili, from the country of Georgia, at the 2010 Winter Olympics in British Columbia, Canada … he was moving at about 146km/h when he lost control, flipped his sled, flew off the track and slammed into steel girdles that made up the structure … what do you think is going to happen to your spandex wearing body if you fly at 140 km/h onto an immovable steel beam?

      The oil on the outside is there so they can legitimately stick their hands down the opponent’s pants and check their oil levels.

      I’m afraid to ask, but is the winner the first one to come up with a brown finger?

    Seems to me like it stems from over engineered sledding.
