Yeah, the broom, the fan... those are the classics but after watching a lot of these videos I can say that this is my favorite so far, the crash was solid, then she went backwards quite a distance trying to save the run but getting out of the thing for good, nice camera angles through the video and the girl fooling around at the end flipping us off is the cherry on top

[@Vylkeer]

I'm sorry but I chuckled when I saw the sled sliding by itself at 0:58. I was hoping it could win the competition and make all other sleds feel bad about themselves. Imagine the sled being picked up and celebrated by its fans at the finishing line.

It takes a special kind of crazy person to do this. They call it skeleton for a reason. One slip and your head/neck/spine is in something and compressed at 70-90 mph. That helmet isn’t making a damn difference.

[@EmilyElizabethxox]

Olga was recently banned from the Russian skeleton team for violations of "anti-doping" laws, which one would assume would have to do with performance enhancing drugs but the sneaky Russians refuse to even acknowledge what they mean by "anti-doping." So I feel very bad for her. The commentators on this even say she's a relatively new athlete who would have had potential in 5-6 years. Well here it is 5-6 years later and she's been banned for life. :(

When your sled starts buckin

[@Maloy7800]

So you are sliding down an ice half-tube at over 100kph HEAD FIRST, trying to avoid getting hit by all that steel structure and get KILLED, which happened already to quite a few "athletes". How is that called a sport? That's spectator suicide.

[@akmuu7836]

Well you're sliding down a half-pipe made out of ice, the only "steel structure" is above and around that half-pipe. This is a sport because it requires a lot of discipline and practice to cross the finish at the bottom without losing control of your sled during curves in the track. You say things about getting killed, but with every sport, there is always a risk of injury and/or death. American Football players suffer brain damage from constantly bumping heads with each other, hockey players get slammed into the wall or onto the ice all the time, Skiier's and snowboarders always at risk of falling down the slope the wrong way. I guess you can call those sports "spectator suicides" too since the professional players often die prematurely due to injuries they got playing.
