The video shows a Luge athlete Nodar flying in the air and hitting an unpadded steel pillar at a very high speed and ultimately resulting in his death.

Nodar Kumaritashvili was training a few hours before the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics when the unfortunate incident took place.

The Olympic Luge Tragedy of Nodar Kumaritashvili has resulted in the committee reviewing the track and making changes in it for the benefit of the athletes.

The display of the video is also a cause of concern since it was shown without any restriction across the world, with lots of graphical and uncensored images, thereby shocking the world.
