Lets get real, everyone doing the luge takes their life into their hands every time they go down the run. It is an inherently dangerous and DEADLY “sport”. That said, the idiots who put up a line of OPEN, UNWALLED, UNSHEILDED STEEL GIRDERS just 3 feet or so off the side of the track after a dangerously tight turn should go to jail... talk about lack of foresight!
A “lip” on both sides of the track, where appropriate, would do wonders for eliminating luge riders from being catapulted off the track by “g” forces.
Want to eliminate the possibility of fatalities like the latest luger? Enclose the track in a tube, where appropriate.
Like Joe Rogan said, "If you're gonna put a monster in a box, you might want to put a TOP on the box!"
