And yet they ve added a whole lot of wall over night... If the track wasnt at fault, why add on the extra wall?
And they are slowing them down by starting them further down the track. It doesn't really add up to their diagnosis.

Finally they took the advice of the athletes that actually have done the run before and they slowed the speeds down to about 85 mph and added a full size wall.

One would think with all possibities considered by computers that factor in . . . every possible parameter when designing that track, that seeing how short that wall was and the speeds that were being attained, common sense or listening to those who are using the track never seemed to dawn on Olympic officials.

One word fits this: Clusterfuck

Amazingly, the athletes said that the bobsled run was actually the most dangerous of all the events on the track. A few drivers said that the added weight made the speed unsafe with the slow responsiveness of a heavy sled on that track.

That's how they build rollercoasters and manage its speed- computer simulations and high-tech models of the finished product.
