Analysis:
Interesting - a couple of dare devils amongst you wanting to do the Cresta Run on a luge. It's a little interesting in that when I set this question up, I was kind of thinking about it along the lines of what's possible. I have a really hard time believing that any of the millions of EBR subscribers out there would actually be able to make it down the Cresta Run in one piece. I rather suspect that there would be a catastrophic failure along the way resulting in the ice and snow turning a shade of claret.
Interestingly, this is the option that Karen went for and I seriously doubt she'd be able to make it to the top of the Cresta Run, let alone surviving a trip down it on a luge.....hmmm.....I feel a thought coming on.....just let me check that life insurance policy.....interesting, time to book a holiday to St Moritz.
