what are the dangers of street luge?

think, think really hard. you could flip over and hurt your self, you could crach, just think of it a kayaking but if you flip over, you won't land in the water, you will land on the street.

yes it is harmful but the force exerted on the bullet going up is greater than when it is falling down. The gravitaional pull is the one that triggers the bullet to come down. it can definitely kill people at an instant.

Do you mean other than death or brain damage?\n\nHere's a little quote:\n"Unwanted effects of exposure to ether can include a cough, sore throat, painful red eyes, a headache, drowsiness, laboured breathing and nausea. Vomiting is quite common. But some people like its sub-anaesthetic effects on consciousness; it has "abuse potential"." (1)\n\nIt is also very flammable. I would say explosively so, more than gasoline. Careless/sedated person + ether = possible BOOM! It's not safe to fool around with from this standpoint.

So you love sleds.  Good news!  Skeleting is one part sled, one part you!  (That is, if you're interested in driving a one-person sled down an ice track at top speeds of 80 mph!)  What makes the sport different from luge is that you're face first, stomach-side facing the ice.  After you make that running start and jump on board your sled, I can imagine it would feel a lot like it's just you and your helmet facing a narrow track of hard, hard ice.  You still interested?\n\nIt's the oldest known sledding sport, actually.  Hailing from St. Moritz, Switzerland, when the Cresta run was built in 1884.  In 1928 and 1948, the Olympics were held in St. Moritz, so they included this oddball Skeleton sport!  ...but it wasn't actually permanently added (or I guess considered anything but crazy?) until 2002.  Maybe that's because those X-Games couldn't possibly be worse?  Best,\n\n`k.

Incorrect valve clearances can cause valve to piston interference, cause excess cam and tappet wear and broken valve train components.  Incorrect timing can cause drive-ability issues, spark knock, or even burnt valves rough idle or a no start condition.

The Ninja, Attack Squirrel Of Death!!!\n\n I never dreamed slowly cruising through a residential neighborhood could be so incredibly dangerous!  Studies have shown that motorcycling requires more decisions per second, and more sheer data processing than nearly any other common activity or sport. The reactions and accurate decision making abilities needed have been likened to the reactions of fighter pilots! The consequences of bad decisions or poor situational awareness are pretty much the same for both groups too. Occasionally, as a rider I have caught myself starting to make bad or ate decisions while riding. In flight training, my instructors called this being "behind the power curve". It is a mark of experience that when this begins to happen, the rider recognizes the situation, and more importantly, does something about it. A short break, a meal, or even a gas stop can set things right again as it gives the brain a chance to catch up.  Good, accurate, and timely decisions are essential when riding a motorcycle.at least if you want to remain among the living. In short, the brain needs to keep up with the machine. I had been banging around the roads of east Texas and as I headed back into Dallas, found myself in very heavy, high-speed traffic on the freeways. Normally, this is not a problem, I commute in these conditions daily, but suddenly I was nearly run down by a cage that decided it needed my lane more than I did. This is not normally a big deal either, as it happens around here often, but usually I can accurately predict which drivers are not paying attention and avoid them before we are even close. This one I missed seeing until it was nearly too late, and as I took evasive action I nearly broadsided another car that I was not even aware was there!  Two bad decisions and insufficient situational awareness.all within seconds.  I was behind the power curve. Time to get off the freeway.   I hit the next exit, and as I was in an area I knew pretty well, headed through a few big residential neighborhoods as a new route home. As I turned onto the nearly empty streets I opened the visor on my full-face helmet to help get some air. I figured some slow riding through the quiet surface streets would give me time to relax, think, and regain that "edge" so frequently required when riding.  Little did I suspect.  As I passed an oncoming car, a brown furry missile shot out from under it and tumbled to a stop immediately in front of me. It was a squirrel, and must have been trying to run across the road when it encountered the car.  I really was not going very fast, but there was no time to brake or avoid it-it was that close.I hate to run over animals.and I really hate it on a motorcycle, but a squirrel should pose no danger to me. I barely had time to brace for the impact.  Animal lovers, never fear. Squirrels can take care of themselves! Inches before impact, the squirrel flipped to his feet. He was standing on his hind legs and facing the oncoming Valkyrie with steadfast resolve in his little beady eyes. His mouth opened, and at the last possible second, he screamed and leapt! I am pretty sure the scream was squirrel for, "Banzai!" or maybe, "Die you gravy-sucking, heathen scum!" as the leap was spectacular and he flew over the windshield and impacted me squarely in the chest.  Instantly he set upon me. If I did not know better I would have sworn he brought twenty of his little buddies along for the attack. Snarling, hissing, and tearing at my clothes, he was a frenzy of activity. As I was dressed only in a light t-shirt, summer riding gloves, and jeans this was a bit of a cause for concern. This furry little tornado was doing some damage!  Picture a large man on a huge black and chrome cruiser, dressed in jeans, a t-shirt, and leather gloves puttering maybe 25mph down a quiet residential street.and in the fight of his life with a squirrel. And losing.I grabbed for him with my left hand a

Dont take the item out of the body, it will cause internal bleeding and possibly cause more damage than needed..

if you are driving one of the industrial street sweepers you could but it would be very dangerous.

No..... 'cos motor racing is inherently dangerous no matter what track you race on.... a few of the drivers were concerned about this weekends' British Grand Prix because one or two of the corner (such as Copse) can be taken flat-out thanks to the new engine rules.......... but Villeneuve, when I ready about it on ITV-F1.com said about it " “Maybe they should stop driving F1,” he told reporters on Thursday.\n\n“We just raced in Monaco, no one complained and it was great.\n\n“There is a small amount of risk but it is tiny. In the past there used to be 100 corners in a season with that amount of risk, and 50 with more risk than that – and now there’s just three during the whole season.\n\n“It’s no big deal, just lift – you don’t have to go flat.” "

Drink a lot of water (bottled), don't drive (u might lose your car), beware of thieves and cops (both are the same in some places)

An additional cause of the skidding mentoned in the first answer is "hydroplaning". This is the same phenomenon that holds a water-skier up; it's the inertia of the layer of water that resists rapid displacement under the pressure of the object on top.\nSince you mentioned that it's at night, there are three other physical effects that come into play to reduce the safety margin. First, the view of the road is distorted by water hitting the windshield, which has varying thickness and refracts the incoming light in erratic ways. Second, the wet pavement is often less visible, due to the fact that most of the light you see by comes from your direction (your headlights) and is backscattered less by the water layer than it would be by the dry pavement. Third, vision is further hindered by the water's reflection of the headlights of oncoming traffic.

Cops have them too.  Use helicopters.  Require certain high speed models to come with a kill switch like are used on go-cart tracks.  Disabling it would activate a lo-jac type device or ruin the engine.

There are dangers to the sport. The easiest way to stay safe is to always dive with a buddy.
