It is very, very, very bad to see the runners of a slider's sled !!!

Means someone will have to come out and clean up the blood. 

just kidding. the guy is repairing the ice divot

off the sled !! OW! and trying to get back on !  my hero.

What was he thinking!

Patrick Antaki is a Lebanese slider.  One of the largest sliders on tour.  He always takes a beating because he is so large, but he gets finished and goes back down every time.  An inspiration !!
