Not sure if anyone has heard of this yet but a 21 year old Luger from the Nation of Georgia died today during practice on what is said to be the fastest Luge track in history in Toronto. Very brutal and sad story.

not to mention fucking instantly. I literally saw his life leave his body. RIP. holy shit though, seriously…wtf are those poles doing exposed like that…though it looks like he hit head first so I doubt some padding would’ve made a difference. now they’re going to pussy up the track though, I’m sure. ---

its crazy and i wouldn’t be suprised if this isn’t the last life taken from this track. multiple other people have had a tough time making it to the end/wrecked on it already. ---

Here is a novle idea? plexy glass the track in on top!!! That contains the riders, you can still see them clear as day and you wont fly off the track ar 100MPH+ 4-5G’s in a corner. RIP to that dude for sure…
