Title: Fatal Luge Accident
Post by: Bigbus on February 13, 2010, 05:28:25 AM

Just about 5 hours before the opening ceremonies a Georgian luge driver was in a fatal accident on a training run...He was travelling at 140 k's per hour when lost control of his sled and flew over the wall and made contact with a steel piller....Not a good start for the Winter Olympic's......

Its always sad when someone gets killed in any sport,not just the Olympics....Sadly he won't be taking any medals home either.
