its statistically much safer than driving anywhere. The way the tracks are built (except that one time in whistler) are so that no matter how you crash, you can't leave the track. you will stay in the icy chute, which means that when you crash you take a really really really really long time to stop, you aren't going from 100 to 0 in an instant, youre going from 100 to 0 in 30+ seconds. which means the force applied on your body, really isn't that much. Force = Mass * velocity / Time, the longer the time, the lesser the force. Of course there are broken bones, but no more proportionally than youd get from people playing any other sport. The thing is, crashing is COMMON like, every olympic athlete will have had hundreds of crashes in their career. You only hear about or see the really bad ones, creating a warped perception of the dangers of it going wrong, in 99% of crashes, you flip your sled, slide on your face for a while, stop, and get out, and your only injuries are some brusing and maybe ice burn. Then you go up and do it again. Source: am luger.
Yes, that is why it must be difficult for the guy on the bottom because he cannot really see where they are going. Plus he has not head support so he must have a very strong neck to withstand the turns at that speed.
A lot of the stuff covered is just common sense. Did you really have to inform us that those German helmets were used for aerodynamics? Just looking at the shape tells us that...
And here is what that info build up to but that you missed because you went into the comments to flash how genius hearing the info made you feel about yourself: This aerodynamic feature proved to give the team such an edge over the competition that it got banned. You're welcome.
@@WormholeJim your welcome what, trying to be a smart ass? The question was why the German team wore the helmets. Nothing about the consequences about the helmet.
Well, doubles doesn't have gender restrictions, so they could mix (or just have two women). Guess for various reasons it's advantageous having two men though.
You'd think "Cheddar" would cover the Annual Cheese Rolling Competition. Chasing a ring of cheese down a hill - broken arms, broken legs, marriage proposals, it's got it all.

Wind resistance has a lot to do with it. So if you are a woman luge competitor, it is best if you are flat-chested. If you are a male luge competitor, it is best if you are not particularly "well endowed", so to speak. If you are male and well-endowed, then it is imperative that you remain unaroused.
The greatest luger of all time, Georg Hackl was known as "The Flying Sausage" and was kind of chubby. I can't see the size of someone's junk making any difference.

The bottom guy definitely do; or else they'd get crashed already.
Not all of them
I'm sure the top guy can confirm if the bottom's balls are steel...
On a lucky day, those balls of steel are noticable.
Tubing should 100% be a category. We'd get to watch them spin out of control, flailing their arms around to try and keep straight.
I kept a straight face until "being a bottom man..."
Single person: Luge.
Double person: Lewd.
I want to see them do a combination of luge and skeleton and call it sixtynineing!
If somebody told me about doubles luge, I would have thought they were reading an Onion article
Gotta have a doubles sledding event but with the person on the bottom in a luge position and person on top in skeleton position.
