My final run for the day was an arm buster. But before I go on, let me emphasize that skeleton is the safest of the sliding sports (skeleton, bobsled, and luge). There are still risks of bumps, bruises, and the very unlikely occurrences of concussions or your sled flipping. In my case though, the width of my shoulders exceed the width of the sled’s steel bumpers, which means any time I hit the wall the sides of my arms absorb the hit instead of the sled. I hit the wall so many times I got a time of 1:04.16 and my arms were impacted at speeds topping 50.6 mph. Did it hurt? It isn't as bad as the pictures look or as it sounds. Was it worth it? The experience of skeleton doesn't have a measurable worth, but yes it was.
