Bobsleigh crash.

Ouch!

Bumperty bang

Ouch ? 😯

Phew, lucky not to get seriously hurt.

Ooof. Lucky they didn’t sustain neck injuries.

They’re a bugger to stop those things.

When they fist crashed the bobsleigh looked like this:

However after a few seconds of sliding down the ice upside-down it looks like this:

At what point do you think they thought ‘I’ll try the brakes’?!

Oooooooo. Who pulled your flaps?

Having Brazil written in big letters on the underside makes you think they were sort of expecting to end that way up

‘I’ll try the brakes’

😀 To be fair, it isn’t going to make the situation any worse.

I love that they only lost 5 and a bit seconds. Looks like it’d be pretty terrifying thing to crash in.

they were just inventing freestyle bobsleigh, grinding the outside rail on the corner should get them gold! 🙂

They almost got it back at one point!

Struggling to come up with a Brazilian related joke…..

A close shave to losing it all together.

Having Brazil written in big letters on the underside makes you think they were sort of expecting to end that way up

Yep, very odd!

Ooo using your helmet for brakes!

Not quite as impressive as that indian luger who managed to crash and still find his way right side up and finish his run. I had to watch it a few times to work out what actually happened!

Shows the benefit of having good headgear. That was a hell of a run.
What’s the Brazilian for ‘oh fu……..’? 😉

Are the Jamaican bobsleigh teams helmets painted like water melons? I am having flash backs to cool runnings, was there a watermelon somewhere in that film?

Women drivers… 😉

Even the Jamaican team are way better than the Brazilians. They should stick to football
