They're raising the wall where he crashed....
Opening ceremonies, meh.... Kinda disappointed they didn't have Le Magnifique (Lemieux) in there for something....
A lot of over-reaction to the malfunctioning fourth column.... For as much pretty amazing effects for three hours, to only have one malfunction (albeit at the worst time) isn't so bad.....Eat Us And Smile - The Originals

The opening ceremonies were excellent, and they picked all the right people. Totally captured Canada and Canadian culture. Absolutely LOVED the poem by the guy from the NWT, and KD Lang's version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" was outstanding."Ya know what they say about angels...

I'm assuming you're not an athlete, are you? Damn rights you honour their memory but getting out there, you would dishonour them by NOT."Ya know what they say about angels...

I played ball in high school, and was on the swim team as well. I understand what fair competition means, as well as honoring fallen comrades. The fact is, the way the track is set up is not fair, as it is unsafe. There have been dozens of incidents in practice, and the competitors themselves have stated their own reservations about it's practicality.
The very definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. Which is precisely what this is.

The crash was on a huge projection screen last night when I was at a sports bar the dude was 15 ft across and high def and it was knarley to say the least.
There is no amount of padding that would have helped it would have had to have been 20 ft thick .
The track should be covered with or at least banked with tall safety nets nylon or some thing..? Like cargo nets..?
Imagine riding a motorcycle at 80 mph and then cross body blocking a tree.
RIP the the dude .
It is sad that safetly usually comes from a accident.
P.S. I love Curling what a great drinking time game..perhaps I will build a curling set up next winter..lolComment
