How many of you know anything about skeleton bobsleigh? Headfirst down an ice chute on what is little more than a teatray, at speeds of over 80 mph! Our British female no 1 hit speeds of 82mph in a recent World Cup race. Would you have the guts for that? I was looking up some info about it and I came upon this website, which explains just a little more about how it feels. Imagine, you not only have the speed to contend with, but no protection, other than a helmet, scraping the ice, being flattened by the G-force! Have a read of this. http://www.head-first-ed.co.uk
