Do you get luge, but not skeleton? It's kind of a semantic difference there.

But: when do we have a sport of sending people down backwards?

Responses:

I always figure skeleton sledders are lugers who couldn't quite make it. -- nm - mafic Jan 5, 12:14 2
- I know people in both sports. It's more that the skeleton people are just crazier. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 12:19 1
  - yeah. I figure it's more that the origin lies in failed lugers "I bet no one else will go head first!" - mafic Jan 5, 12:24
it's sort of "i don't get why skeleton is needed if we have luge." -- nm - TFox Jan 5, 12:13
