I'm pretty sure that everyone has heard about the terrifying luge accident that happened during the Vancouver Olympics. The Vancouver organizing committee decided that the family of the Luger receive a death benefit. The committee took out insurance on the approximately 5,000 members of the Olympic family, including athletes, for the games. For me i believe it is a private issue between the committee and the family. I'm glad that the family received something for what happened but no amount of money can buy a person back.

True, very true. No matter how much money you get for the lost, that will never bring the person back. It is a sad issue though. The death benefit must have been a must, but I'm sure it didn't bring much happiness for those who lost a family member.
True, no amount of money can fix a death. But it is what they deserve. Because they, they being the Olympic committee or whoever that built the luge, are in direct fault for this tragedy. Regardless of waiver forms or what not. There are no amount of apologies and memorials that can help. Its the least they can do.
Thank God they hAD AN INSURANCE POLICY. True no amount of money can replace a life but at leats they covered their asses. Crazy freak accident.
