Bob Sleigh

I am watching the luge and bobsleigh from Igls on Eurosport at the moment. I can not believe we did the bobsleigh. You tend not to see much just feel it going down, plus I had my eyes shut all the time.
Never would I have done it if I had seen this. Wont be doing it again.

you are brave ...back in my youth I was in cervinia and was offered a chance to go on the Navy's bob as a makeweight (someone had broken their leg ) and I chickened out...looked too scary for me and I was 30+ years younger then!!!

Dont know why I did it, probably because Hubby wanted to share experience with me, he loved it and has done it 3 times, but I did not really enjoy it the once I did it.

I read an article sometime ago...

I can't remember the exact comment but it was something like this.

"in a bobsleigh you don't break your bones - they shatter"

You have to put alot of faith in the driver.

It does have the Austrian olympic bob sleigh champion as the pilot. But when I met him I dont know what Olympics but he was very, very old. :lol:

Rose, your very brave I'd love to that someday before I run out of breath :shock:

Not brave just easily led. Plus the promise of a nice trinket in the jewellers if I did it.

Rose I'm disappointed at you being so easily brought
