    I saw some pics of the guy when people were trying to help him and his mouth was full of blood. That was shocking. I always liked this sport and bob sledding is my favourite winter sport, and unfortunately those kinds of accidents happen. I rember seen a cup of mortal accidents in bob during the years and it is a fact that you have to accept,this are dangerous sports
    Yes, without those concrete poles this wouldn't have happen, but usually if you loose control of the thing you still slide in the track. The fact that he loosed the luge just out of the parabolic curve coused the "pendulum" effect that throwed him out of the track.Anyway that was shocking and probably the worst accident I saw on the bob and luge tracks.
    R.I.P. Nodar.
