When you're driving down the highway and there is that one car swerving back and forth between lanes passing everyone, then five minutes later you see them stuck down in a ditch so you slow down to laugh and beep. 1:22.
@@brunbjorn9095 I understand that, probably a different perception to the naked eye opposed to a UA-cam video. Still though, the track got very narrow compared to before the tunnel..
I like how if you don't nail the turn right before he went into the tunnel, there's a nice steep cliff with trees to slow your descent just in case you are jettisoned off the track.
You should be leaning into the corners way more bro...it looks like u already had one wheel off the ground before u even hit the barrier. With correct weight distribution and line choice u can make it down that track without touching the brakes or the barriers. Damn good effort tho and kudos for picking yourself up so fast!!
Brother's n I used to race ball bearing trolleys on the roads in our early years. Raced my nephew down this luge run when in my late 50s he was surprised that we clened him up. I said to him...'tiger we cut our teeth on stuff like this' Though these days I would prefer sum safety gear rather than loosin chunks of skin like the dude filmin.

Wild looking track, the ones I have rode are more like a half tube you can bank in the turns like a bobsled track. There's no curb to hit, but you can (by which I mean that I did) fly out of the track.😀
That's awesome. I've always kind of wanted to fly off the edge of the track. I did my best but the guy at the end got mad and yelled at me to slow down lol
When you mix bad driving with overconfidence this is often the result. Work on your lines and you'll get a lot faster. In a luge you also need to hang into turns or they tip up.
Dawg its supposed to be adrenaline rush, you prolly like the other lady who had barely any fun going slow as hell.😂 i guess you dont get what you paid for with that mindset🫤
@@seq1032 I don't see how bad driving is an adrenalin rush? Good fast driving and getting them sideways is good fun, but you can do that without crashing. Plus due to the narrow wheelbase you need to hang out into a corner or they tip the opposite way and drag the luge body along the ground slowing you down. You see it all the time. Makes for very passing. Dawg 🤣 the 90s called looking for you.
Lol this is after they made it all safe and tame. Knew a guy that was flown to dunedin hospital after landing one of the jumps wrong. There is no jumps or fast parts anymore 😠
I’ve crashed at that spot too, the worst is if you put your foot out to stabilise yourself you will end up crushing it between the sled and the wall on the track when you hit the wall, your instinct is to put your foot out but that’s how it gets crushed
Not in New Zealand - you cant sue for accidents like that - you are covered for injury through a thing called Accident Compensation - which is a Govt run system. Thanks God we dont have the system they do in the US where the first thing people look to do is sue everyone else - much simpler, much fairer system in NZ. IMHO
I cant be the only one that read the title as questionable luge crash iam I? Is there something wrong with my brain cause 3/4ths way threw video I realized it was Queenstown
I went on this November of 2016,was lots of fun.The first time I went on the advanced track I got some serious speed going and almost hit the curb,would have went over and down the hill and would have been F**cked big time!!!But I settled down after that.
I like the way the lady slows down and gives him a concerned "ouch" as she rolls on to victory.
😂😂😂😂
🤣
Came here to say that. Well done.
Karen…
Quite possibly had something to do with him snickering as he bullied her around the corner
After that cocky laugh, it was inevitable a crash was coming
Another subtle clue was the title of the video
@@37llawffej you seem fun
Dude laughed like an npc in a kart video game

As my dad used to say: "You were in a hurry to get to _this_ spot!?
Yeah for extra 1000 points if you can see their face.
to be fair that only happens because people think they can travel in the left lane, which is only for passing slower vehicles.
They should inform you about that turn beforehand. That was hard to see coming out of the tunnel and then the track narrowing and bending immediately!
Yeah it got unexpectedly narrow!
Eh, the camera can't see contrasts like the human eye, you can see it at the tunnel entrance.
@@fredtaylor9792 yeah
I went on this exact track 2 days ago and it's not unexpected at all
@@brunbjorn9095 I understand that, probably a different perception to the naked eye opposed to a UA-cam video. Still though, the track got very narrow compared to before the tunnel..
Love it how at the end Robert Irwin didn’t even really care that he stacked it.
The dude is a pussy asking for a med kit because he scraped his knee. I'd give him the same exact look...
Its because it happens so often
xD Robert Irwin
Was that Robert Irwin
Should have got his autograph ✍️
Because who asks for a first aid kit for that? ‘Tis but a scratch.

Yeah that's pretty wild, how has nobody become a quadriplegic here before?
Yep, went over at the same corner many years ago. Great view from the track caught me out.
I’m surprised places like this still exist. I thought the world was supposed to be covered in bubble wrap by now.
I was on two wheels in half the turns, it was a lot of fun.
Yes… but this is in New Zealand
That's the exact corner I got owned too mate
ME TOO
This luge ride is SO different now. They renovated it and made a station there over the years.
That was it??
Great. Now I know I can't take that corner too fast
The slow sign should probably be at the entrance of the tunnel.
Where this at I wanna go
Holy shit this looks awesome!!! I need to find one of these. We have alpine coasters here but they are restricted to a track.
Or u can do what we used to do as kids. Find a nice steep crazy road and just bomb it. How we survived ill never know
if ur wonderin where the crash is it is here 1:18
The sign right after the crash says smile for the camera lmaooo I’m in tears
She missed an opportunity to say "aye you can't park there!"
Did he recover from the injury?
unfutorntly hims ded :(
sign says “slow”disregard the authorities
if you slow down there it takes ages to get to the end
They arent authorities. You defo the type of person who doesnt go on any rollercoasters

Just wondering how many people die there every month?
Please follow all the safety warnings. I have been and there are multiple slow down warnings.
Its more fun if you go faster so no. I want what i paid for
This was a lot of fun to watch! Thanks for posting - I hope you weren’t hurt… didn’t look like it!
I remember as a kid I was on this ride alone and I bruised my self soo bad my stomach had scars and I peeled my skin off
Don't lean in practicly don't lean in on any of these attractions
Hey is it your first time? As he looks at his bloody knees.

I crashed at the same spot too
Where the heck is your race line?
The too noises he makes before his crash make it even better, specially the over take
How much is the cost of this fun?
Not sure but its cheaper than AC
Awesome...brought back a heap of memories while holidaying in NZ years ago....except I didn't stack!🤣🤣👍🍻
That's what happens when you have zero idea how to take corners.
I just went to the luge earlier today and now youtube recommended me this video
Well that's what happens when you try to be a hero! Karma.
Not enough room if you ask me
thanks you made my day better
how did you record?

That was a "Luge" crash

@@cartertwowheels3358 , Lmao on last comment!
That's the scariest thing I've ever seen.
Are those barriers there for ant limousines or what?
I've read this book lots of times the bunny always loses
The bunny had more fun though
Ohhhhh. Sooo close to finish line. It made it all a better video
Shame we can’t do stuff like this in the USA…
Big waluigi vibes
Slow and steady wins the day.
Not fun at all though
This looks terrifying!
I've done that luge and you have to be pretty shit to crash.
This looks fun, I need to figure out where some Luge tracks are.
Serves him right for being so cocky.
Lol this is after they made it all safe and tame.
Knew a guy that was flown to dunedin hospital after landing one of the jumps wrong.
There is no jumps or fast parts anymore 😠
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat
8 years later and im still slow
I hope you dont have a drivers licence. You took 90% of the bends using the wrong lines.
I would love to see The Stig do this
That’s what I thought too . He’s totally got it all wrong and paid the price 😂
Dude, its a luge. Not that deep😂
@@benjaminc8789 not that deep bejamin
At 1:04 l've come round too fast clipped the corner and l was thrown towards the trees. Great fun.

No way! Where is this place? I want to go to one immediately of course.
This one is in Queenstown, New Zealand.
Why is this video suddenly being recommended?
What happened to the haha smirk lol
There’s no speed govoner on gravity! I love doing this with golf carts downhill in neutral. Obviously less extreme.
Tickle?
Ask your girl for some driving instructions
Loser mentality
Need to go back up to the top to see if you left your talent up there because you definitely didn't have it with you on this run
About the only talent you have is writing crap like that.
I’ve been to the Rotorua luge and this one looks just as good!
I also crashed on that one, flipped and rolled down a hill 🤕
esta série de vídeos é muito interessante, eu gosto deste tipo de vídeo...
The “shit” sounded funny 😂😂
The turtle always wins the race 😂😂🤣
you thought you were the shit ... lol
That loo looks like you could be seriously hurt.
Perhaps they should put some "Slow" signs before the tunnel.
I was expecting flying off into the Abyss of non return.
Just as you crashed I was thinking, "this looks like a lawsuit waiting to happen". How much did you get?
Not in New Zealand - you cant sue for accidents like that - you are covered for injury through a thing called Accident Compensation - which is a Govt run system.

Damn 2014 was crazy
I went there today it was awesome
Great move well done wh- Are you ok? that was a big one.
Total blind corner, thanks to the shady tunnel exiting back into bright sunlight.
小早川由佳、😮
follow the racing line ;)
His line was terrible.
@@mataph7805 probably why he crashed ;)
This in New Zealand
I went on this a few weeks ago
At the end it says slow down and he still wants to go fast.
Its called having fun. Maybe some people wanna get what they paid money for
Everyone’s gangsta until their knee gets skinned 🫣
bruh you can already see there was already gonna be a corner
I cant be the only one that read the title as questionable luge crash iam I? Is there something wrong with my brain cause 3/4ths way threw video I realized it was Queenstown
As they say in the aircraft world, "fly it all the way to the crash"

* *would have gone over*
Bad placement on the slow signs
Me no English. What does slow mean? 😂😂😂
Slow down though for the photofinish, smile!!
Crash? You call that a crash?
He french fried when he should have pizza'd
Waaaaa
Hosed myself laughing !! 🤣😂🤣
And not a single apex was clipped that day.
Crazy how they don't require elbow or knee pads.
Lemme guess…american?
Nice shoes bro
