And other ppl have said it, but why in the world would there not be a plexy (sp?) glass on those sharpe turns and the areas where the lugers could actually fall off the track. However its even more mind boggling to have EXPOSED STEEL BEAMS exactly at the point of one of those turns. The IOC could not spring an extra grand or two and put some foam padding on the beams? Would that of saved this young man's life? No one knows for sure, atleast that would of made it seem like they cared about the luger's safety. SMH. RIP to Kumaritashvili, and I cant start to imagine the pain felt by his close friends and family.!
they will def sue for a wrongful death on the IOC's negligenceOriginally Posted by djaman
I really can't believe how terrible the whole situation is. First of all, just put ten feet of plexiglass rising right above the track! How damn easy and is that? Completely naked steel beams merely feet from the track coming around a corner with athletes going 90 MPH?
And on top of that, how about NBC showing all of it, and unapologetically. Just awful.
The family of the competitor should sue for an obscene amount of money and I hope they get every cent.
Sorry, but these olympics are irreperably ruined.
