There was a guy in Luge competition that crashed into a post and died. I don't know how long they'll allow this video to stay up, it's pretty graphic.

Yeah, as soon as I heard that ringing sound, I knew he was done.

They could build up the Ice wall even so people don't go flying out like that.

The entire thing could be a clear acrylic tube...
Got to say my heart bleeds for this young athlete's family - it must be awful for them, to be so proud of their son; going to the olympics is such an amazing achievement... and he was gone so fast.

Agreed. The only comfort being that it was quick and painless.
