Mrs H is absolutely glued to the Winter Olympics. I'm dipping in and out, but I have an abiding question about a number of these (very impressive) events. How do you learn how to do them without dying? Like, the skeleton and luge stuff which is basically throwing oneself down a very slippery tube? How do you get started doing something like that and not immediately end up in a crumpled and bloody and broken heap?
