Closeon a related note, dozens of other people have run that very same course in many practise runs before, and none of them have flipped out of the track and died.
Therefore, there's nothing wrong with the track.

The track is the fastest track and the Olympic commission or whatever was worried about it. No one else died, but accidents did happen, and there was concern. Canada as a nation didn't design the track, the Vancouver Olympic Committee did (VANOC), you can fuck them if you like.
Just because many people die doesn't make one person's death any less sad. Instead of desensitizing yourself with rationality, why not go the opposite route and sensitize yourself with it.
I think this is a sad thing, and feel sorry for the dude and the people he knew.

Exactly. What I am trying to convey is that the athlete's death is no more and no less a tragedy than any other person's death; the media and the public has completely blown this whole thing out of proportion.

Indeed, my condolences go out to his family and friends. RIP. =(

Not necessarily, did you see that section with Brian Williams on the accident? He's like it happens all the time, these people live for this kind of stuff and is what separates them from the mundane. He practically told the audience to get over it and respect the death for what it is.
I can't comment on that since I haven't watched the section you refer to (who's Brian Williams, incidentally?). I guess I was over-generalizing when I referred to "the media", though.

He's like the only number 1 nightly news anchor on NBC... >_>
Well, the local media may blow it out of proportion because: they are hurting for ratings. ;)
Ah, no wonder. I don't really watch much news except KCAL9 (local Southern California TV news station) and NHK's Japanese news program. Both of which reported on the death a bit spectacularly.
