His speed when he came off the luge was estimated at 144.3kmh. Yep that'll do it.

857814 2010-02-13 01:26:00 In New Zealand we'd put a sign up saying leaving the track could be hazardous to your health. Then if there was an accident, we'd prosecute everyone associated with the Olympics under health and safety legislation and no one would ever be able to luge again, well at least not in the ten years the investigation would take.

857815 2010-02-13 01:53:00 More likely we would build all the assets,improve the land by trillions, then gift it to some locals depending on their skin colour, and say No worries Bro, we will lease it back off you so we can use all our assets we just built with the public's money, and never fear, there is billions more where this came from, out of the pockets of hard working New Zealanders.


Hey,lets raise taxes.

For safety of people like him, OSH would insist the poles be placed in the middle of the track .
