Unless he's the most double jointed human ever. Bloody hell.
Holy Fvck! That sucks, and I agree they need to put a catch fence in those areas. The organizers or whoever probably didn't want one there cuz it would block the camera shots.
Wow that course is fast. What a terrible accident.
Yikes.
You can hear the pole ring when he hits it.

What a terrible thing to happen. I feel very bad for his family.

RIP Luge Dude
yeah, that zing off the pole gave me the chills. ragdoll physics at it's best. RIP.
So will he now be competing in the skeleton? Too soon?
omw. i managed to watch the clip literally SECONDS before they pulled it over a copyright claim by the IOC. jeez.
boooooooooo IOC you suck*
*not really. Not exactly good press for video of someone dying to be floating around days before the Olympics. That, and out of respect for the dead & his family.
Must protect the brand. Before this I had no idea sliding down an ice track on your arse could be dangerous.
Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you.
More specifically when one part of your body becomes stationary but the rest of it follows Newton's first law, that's what gets you.
huffington post has it up
Jesus dude. Guys not even cold yet.
I have to admit, I laughed very inappropriately at that one...Jesus dude. Guys not even cold yet.
Yeah sorry, may he rest in pieces.Jesus dude. Guys not even cold yet.
oh both my sacks: i think his ear is slightly torn off in that last image at The Huffington post.
That is really sad
The laugh train stops for noone. Next stop: h-e double hockey sticks.
It's a bullet train straight to Satan's Bar and Grill!
Despite my drunken idiocy, that video was horrifying. At least he didn't appear to suffer, unlike you poor bastards who will have to put up with my f*ckwittedness for the foreseeable future.
I read this article about the increasing dangerous of the some of the Olympic disciplines yesterday. So sad to follow up with this today
