A Georgian luger was killed during Olympic practice. http://www.sports-tube.com/watch/94...r-dies-in-2010-Winter-Olympics-practice-crash
Very sad... dont know why the metal barrier did not have protective material in such as dangerous sports
Today they showed that the Luge course has changed for the men to prevent this. The changes include: the male lugers now start at the female starting point, and the part of the track where this Luger went off track now has a large wall hopefully preventing anymore deaths.
even if their was, it wouldn't have saved him. But if their wasn't pole there then he would have most likely survived
