Winter Sports, Monday, Period Two

[doubleohblonde]

Bond had informed his class that they should meet him in the Danger Shop this morning. When they arrived they found themselves standing at the top of a very long, very steep track with a small sled placed at the starting line.

"Good morning, and welcome to Winter Sports, which I trust will need very little explanation of the course material," Bond, who just happened to be wearing a bodysuit, helmet, and booties, began. "Today we'll be starting with luge. Now, luge is considered one of the most dangerous sports today, so even with the Danger Shop's safety protocols, you'll first be changing into the provided safety gear."

After the class had changed, he continued. "Now, I could give you a very long and detailed lecture on the history of luge, and the physics of it, but really, the point of the class is doing, so you'll be taking turns to go down the track one by one before we do introductions at the bottom of the track. Now if you'll watch me for the correct form."

With that, Bond sat on the sled and launched himself down the track.

Jack had watched luge on TV, but had never tried it himself. All he knew was to go fast and try to make turns. The turns he managed okay at first, because he wasn't going so fast. As the speed picked up, he slid up the sides and came close to tipping more than once. On the second last turn, he crashed out. While he expected to tumble, the safety protocols kicked in and was safely down the bottom.

Safety protocols couldn't stop the adrenaline rush from tipping though.
