Tyrolean dare-devils shoot the slopes on bob-sleighs - sitting upright on kids' sleds, and streaking down a regular bob-sled run for a hair-raising new sports thrill. This is not a lot of kids coasting down a hill these daredevils hurtling down a hill are grown men competing for the championship in, not bobsledding, bobsleighing and as luck would have it, they tumble off the sled into the snow. CUS - Sleders waxing their sled runners. MCUS - Sleder going down a steep hill in the Alps of Austria. CUS - Sledder going down the hill path and slides off the sled.
