For those who have not been following the concerns about the safety of the Luge track in the run up to the games, the above is a link to one of many commentaries on it. These are not ex post facto, monday morning quarterback complaints - this has been a real controversy for a while now, and it raises real concerns about the the relative importance of athlete's safety vs attention and ratings grabbing speed. An argument can be made that they designed this track specifically so there would be more accidents (obviously, not intended to be fatal) much like NASCAR is trying to do this year. -- TV or Not TV ....
