Slow the f****** track down. How many people have to get injured before they realize this is too fast. With very little time for these minor countries to get acclimated they are setting themselves up for more of this. No one cares if they go 70 or 90 mph at the bottom. This death was senseless

OMG, just saw the video on another site. That was one of the worst things I have ever seen.

R.I.P.

You would really think those poles would be padded, not that it may have mattered going that fast. I pray this dude felt nothing.

Can't imagine all the padding in the world would have helped that poor fellow.

Padding? What kind of design is that with those steel H-Beams so close to the track? If I designed that thing, I don't think I could live with myself. I am sure they are there to support a roof, but it is an outside sport, the roof is only there for the comfort of photogs or workers. F them, lose the roof. It's too late for that though.

If someone leaves that track, they should hit netting or padding (like high jumpers or pole vaulters), not steel.

Yeah really.

Wow, very sad.

No way can I watch the video or would I want to. I accidentally saw one photo... that was bad enough.

Just awful, poor guy.
