Wow, this day I discover that there is a sport for sliding. So the slides in the park is not just for fun, it is a training equipment.

[@thebogsdollocks9955]

Sounds like a good excuse for me to go to park alone and slide down slides at 21 years of age.

[@MrVahmis]

You talk to high. Stupid

[@Emma88178]

It’s a lot more skill than just sliding down. You’re steering as well, which can be quite difficult with the curves.

[@luckbox3601]

Yeah right?!! like... does someone do this like a hobby????

[@Alvin_0523]

Yeah, why is this an Olympic sport, though, even though it takes practice but it doesn't need any special skill just lying down??

[@listentogeoff]

I grew up in Calgary, which hosted the 88 olympics and some people I know tried it. Similar to ski jumping, you basically have to live in a city that has hosted the olympics.

[@luckbox3601]

@@listentogeoff thanks, that answers a lot. But now, how did it become an olympic sport 🧐???

[@paolohlg]

@@Alvin_0523 these athletes are steering the thing in the same way as driving a racecar is just sitting down. It takes alot of skill to get the position on track right, especially in the curves and there have been heavy (fatal) accidents in this sport.

Winter sports in general are just fucking dangerous compared to summer sports.

[@jchen8902]

@@HekateMGO all sports are dangerous to an extent. But yes, you're right, since winter sports are mostly carried out on ice and snow, most of them are supremely dangerous. You could land wrong and hit your head in figure skating. You could hurtle off a track at 100 miles/hour in Luge. You could get a blade through the eye in speed skating. You could fall off a mountain in cross-country skiing. So many risks.

[@kiseryota6960]

I think there is an initial step: be aware that such a sport exists.

[@telracsazyl1243]

4. Lost grip and you died

[@ChasenR]

Too much weight and you might flip in the curves, scary sliding face down on ice going 140+km/h.

[@theyoungconservation]

Actually you cant relax, you have to be as tense as possible to be aerodynamic. This is the thing that many people dont know from this sport: it is not simply laying down and win. You have to use all your muscle to make yourself aerodynamic, and make some very subtle move to steer the curve
