What do people expect? It's a shame and all, but if you decide to sit on a small piece of wood and hurl yourself down an icy track at ridiculous speeds you should have a firm idea of what the risks are.
That being said, it's a pretty stupid event. What exactly constitutes to a decent speed? What's the skill needed to excel in it? I'm completely ignorant of what factors play a role, but I assume it comes down to how daring you are with your speed, right?
