@2403328 not at all. luge you don't look and have no brakes. skeleton if you get scared you can drop your feet and slow right down or push your sled out from under you

its a great sport, but dont worry its not as dangerous as luge..its safer. its actually a pretty safe sport, (still rough though) going head first helps in that as crazy as it seems.

Crazy sport.

No it doesn't.

Its called Skeleton b/c when it was first invented in the Late 1800's the sleds looked Skeletal. The name stuck.

Skeleton racing means they could become skeleton very soon.
