[shadowthecat1987]

i remember seeing this on TV when it happened. the sound of the impact was the most memorable part. i wish this came with the audio instead of the sad song. i know its sad. ive just been looking forever for the raw footage.

[GhostRyder443]

@cLaX1227 FUCK OF ASSHOLE

[cLaX1227]

@GhostRyder443 What the fuck did I do? not my fault even I ended up being desensitized I find death funny lol I was in a car accident and I saw someone get decapitated XD I don't give a shit.

[dart1285]

@cLaX1227 that's some heavy shit, man. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, but I wouldn't be "lol-ing" about it

[cLaX1227]

@dart1285 Okay?

[tk0145]

Video player within a video player.... we must go deeper.

[niknak960]

ok these guys go about 150 or more to answer that but i am 20 years old ilive in vancouver and i was watching this I CANNOT BELIEVE that a corporation live VANOC can basicly murder a young man in sport by failing to abide by safety regs and let this happen and nothing happens to them A MAN IS DEAD and nothing will be done öh i guess we should make that safer" IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAFE TO BEGIN WITH you cant tell me with all those engineers who are payed for this missed that

[dart1285]

@niknak960 sadly, I think they did just overlook it

[xegyptianmummyx]

RIP from EGYPT & Texas....when a soldier dies in War they are heroes and died for their country...when an Athlete dies during a sport accident while representing their country...they are also heroes..but they died for humanity.

[LiViNgFeAr12]

he hit that at wut, 80 mph?

sad rip :(

i remember watching that on tv that sudden loud BANG! u think they would hav noticed thats a safety hazard with steel pillars there

[johnhamilton3]

r.i.p.

[dart1285]

call me crazy, but when I first saw this I said "Hmmm....plexiglass?".....seem­s like whoever was in charge dicked the dog, dropped the ball, fucked up, etc.....how do you have an olympic event of guys going 100+mph on a sled with a wicked corner that could throw them into a steel I beam? I mean, really? simple plexiglass from a hockey arena woulda saved Nodar's life. Truly sad

[Fwirl]

@dart1285 too true, my friend. but this is you speaking in hindsight, it's truly sad that he lost his life because of simple overlooked safety protocols. at least they can prevent it from happening in the future.

[dart1285]

@Fwirl you're right, of course. It's just.....yeah. No words can describe this. You get what I mean I'm sure. Rest in peace Nodar.

[wahaya2]

@dart1285 There was a big argument in the immediate aftermath because of the fact that the pillars along the track, one of which Kumaritashvili hit, weren't padded at all. Safety measures seemed pretty bad in general really.

[killerball5]

@dart1285 true but all that dicked the dog shit is stupid

[juksori1]

He was already aware of the danger but despite his efforts to fix things they only fixed that part of the track after he has died already.

[jwpalmer82]

i wonder what went through his mind when he lost control.. poor guy

[HorribleLittleCunt]

@jwpalmer82 probably a piece of wall followed by a few teeth

[Th3ch0s3n0n3s]

@MrFucktard01 CAPS lock. you need to use that button.

[ATOMIKMOTORSPORTS22]

well i can tell ya if i were doing those speeds lying down i would die from not breathing and i would faint so i have to say he was great at what he loved!

[infiernoboy1]

i always said one thing: When i die i want to die doing what i love and in this case if sledding was his passion im sure he wouldnt want it any other way RIP Nodar Kumaritashvili one great athlete

[TheCavalierKing96]

Rest in Peace. What a man.

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

Does anyone know what happened that made him lose control of the sled? Was there a crack in the ice or did the sled turn the wrong way?

[PledgeScapeEpicMan]

@BTCRAIL101FILMS hey dude nothing against you but no ones perfect and there doesnt have to be a crack in the ice i mean once again nothing against your but i wanna see you go at speed of 110mph down a icey track on your back barely able to see.... harder then you think the track was extremely hard it was olympic level he miscalculated turned to sharp and crashed not to knock on you or him but no ones perfect

[BTCRAIL101FILMS]

@PledgeScapeEpicMan I know that no ones perfect, I just wanna know the cause of his crash/death?

[Uaohio]

RIP. Man, that was awful. The sight of his body hitting that beam just goes right through you. Such a tragic death of someone so young. But judging by the blood around his ears, if he had survived he would have been a vegetable, trapped inside a useless body.

[international153]

This crash not only killed Nodar, but this also killed all the points of Vancouver in my ratings. RIP 1988-2010

[BabbarKhalsaZindabad]

fucking tragic

[international153]

My ratings : (1984 Sarajevo 7.5/10) (1984 LA 6.0/10) (1988 Calgary 8.5/10) (1988 Seoul 7.0/10) (1992 Albertville 7.0/10) (1992 Barcelona 9.0/10) (1994 Lillehammer 8.0/10) (1996 Atlanta 5.5/10) (1998 Nagano 7.0/10) (2000 Sydney 8.5/10) (2004 Athens 10/10) (2006 Torino 8.0/10) (2008 beijing 8.5/10) (2010 Vancouver 0.0/10) sorry i give vancouver zero because his death

[international153]

Since the 1984 Winter Olympics at Sarajevo when i was only 7, i have given ratings to each Olympics since (ratings from 0 to 10) Sorry Canadians, but this death really saddened me. What a waste, he was a nice guy, what a shame he died at 21. I cried when I hear the news that he had died. Sorry, but i give this Olympics 0 out of 10 because this death totally ruined me RIP :(((((((

[MaKsPuA]

RIP from france, 21 is just way too young

[Alexhallkiller]

R.I.P FROM CALIFORNIA

[SpoonersWarriorDevil]

I remember watching that on the news slightly some time after the olympics.

[TheTrooper1998]

@KieCuster wtf dude? Is it going to be so funny if your kid dies like that huh?

R.I.P. from Bulgaria ...

[KieCuster]

lol

[bbanthony55]

@KieCuster dude that sick bro

and i thought i had a bad sense of humor

[KieCuster]

@bbanthony55 Nothing sick about it. He trained his whole life (I'm assuming since most olympics contenders do) and lost it all in one little accident. All for a little medal and some appraisal.

[wesonwednesday]

@KieCuster go to hell

[FlyingAntsAreAwesome]

@KieCuster Ok I'm going to be honest I thought you said something really bad so I went searching for his comment. When I saw 'lol' it made me laugh. I feel fucking terrible for laughing his comment is not slightly funny. Personally I think this Kie should trade places with Nodar.

Rest in peace we miss you

[Samizz]

R.I.P Nodar Kumaritashvili

This is so terrible to see and brings a tear to my eyes. Watching this makes me sick to my stomach and it's so heartbreaking to see such a young and brave person go this way. He is the true hero of the Olympics in my eyes.

[cleekis21]

so freakin sad man

[iiEuRoStaRZzZ]

RIP

[phobiphantom10]

They disliked it because he died.

They liked it because it had the actual video.

RIP from New Jersey, USA.

[hezeek]

[SalazarK33]

RIP from Greece.....

[international153]

Rest In Peace.. You're not dead. You now have an immortal life in heaven R.I.P from Russia.

Holy shit that track was just too fast. There are limits to what the human body can keep up with, and that speed was just beyond.

[Meg3868]

whoever liked this video, is a terrible person!

[MissesIsAMR]

@Meg3868 People are liking it as its an actual video which shares the truth not some dome ass photos which we could google.

[Meg3868]

@MissesIsAMR i'm just saying, that liking this video, is someone who likes to watch people die.

this is a tragedy, and imagine how his family feels.
