    No way in hell I’m doing luge, skeleton or bobsled on those Olympic tracks for my first attempt. Maybe I’d go down it in one of those inflatable balls that people roll down hills in. They’re getting to around 100 mph if they don’t hit the walls, and if I got to even half that speed and slammed into a wall I’d be in the hospital for a long time

      I’d like to see the math on how fast you would get thrown around inside a Zorb going down a ski hill or a off a ski jump.

      I feel like you would still get injured but instead of hitting the ground once and stopping you would get a few Kilometers worth of soft tissue injuries and sprains compiled on top of eachother.
