I'm fine with going fast on a sled being a sport. That's cool. But, it seems like something where it's only valid if everybody involved is actively doing something on the way down, not just being ballast.

One person sledding makes sense. But, in this sport, the guy on the bottom can't possibly be anything but ballast, can he? He can't see anything, so he can't be steering or braking, right?

Same with bobsled, the guy at the front is steering. Maybe the people in the back help with something, but they can't be too actively involved because they can't see.

Maybe the guy on top looks and the guy on bottom steers, and the hard part is communication

is it two boinks for left and one boink for right, or is it two boinks for right and a hip thrust for left?

In bobsled, the other people at the back are important for the initial pushoff, since you're allowed a running start. And then I'm pretty sure everyone helps steer, based on what the guy in the front is doing/commands he gives.

Granted, all my knowledge of bobsled comes from Cool Runnings, so take all that with a grain of salt

Luge is confusing enough. This is just moreso.

A Dutch talkshow host absolutely wrecked the notion of this sport, and skeleton as well. It's basically just going down a slide one at a time on a little sled, was his point. And the difference between these sports is the way you lie on the sled.

Same with bobsled.

I watched a comedian say that you could force a guy onto one of those things and he could probably win an involuntary gold medal

I'm guessing there's a rule against a crotch cam, so the top can leave his head down?
