The practical use of sleds is ancient and widespread.
The first recorded sled races took place in Norway sometime during the 15th century.
The sport of luge, like the skeleton and the bobsleigh, originated in the health-spa town of St Moritz, Switzerland, in the mid-to-late 19th century, through the endeavours of hotel entrepreneur Caspar Badrutt.
Badrutt successfully sold the idea of winter resorting, as well as rooms with food, drink, and activities.
His more adventurous English guests began adapting delivery boys' sleds for recreation, which led to collisions with pedestrians as they sped down the lanes and alleys of the village.
The first organized meeting of the sport took place in 1883 in Switzerland.
In 1913, the Internationale Schlittensportverband or International Sled Sports Federation was founded in Dresden, Germany.
This body governed the sport until 1935, when it was incorporated in the Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT, International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing Federation).
After it had been decided that luge would replace the sport of skeleton at the Olympic Games, the first World Championships in the sport were held in 1955 in Oslo (Norway).
In 1957, the Fédération Internationale de Luge de Course (FIL, International Luge Federation) was founded.
Luge events were first included in the Olympic Winter Games in 1964.
Americans were slow to adopt the sport of luge.
The first luge run in North America was built at Lolo Hot Springs, Montana in 1965.
Although the United States competed in every Olympic luge event from 1964 through 1976, it was not until 1979 that the United States Luge Association was founded.
The first artificial American track was completed in that year for use in the 1980 XIII Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid, New York.
Since that time the United States luge program has greatly improved.
A second artificial track was constructed near Park City, Utah for the 2002 XIX Olympic Winter Games at Salt Lake City. 
A luge is a small one- or two-person sled on which one sleds supine (face up) and feet-first.
Steering is done by flexing the sled's runners with the calf of each leg or exerting opposite shoulder pressure to the seat.
Racing sleds weigh 21–25 kilograms (46–55 lb) for singles and 25–30 kilograms (55–66 lb) for doubles.
Luge is also the name of an Olympic sport.
Lugers can reach speeds of 140 km per hour (87 mph).
Manuel Pfister of Austria, reached a top speed of 154 km per hour (95.69 mph) on the track in Whistler, Canada prior to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Lugers compete against a timer and are timed to a thousandth of a second, making luge one of the most precisely timed sports in the world.
The first recorded use of the term "luge" is 1905, from the Savoy/Swiss dialect of French "luge" meaning "small coasting sled", and is possibly from a Gaulish word with the same root as English sled.
Petr Urban was the leading and most controversial member of the Czechoslovakia’s luge team.
He recorded two top-20 finishes, but was soon excluded from the team because of his cartoon jokes he published in daily Sport while competing in Albertville. 
The FIL World Luge Championships 1957 took place in Davos, Switzerland.
It marked the first time the event was held under the auspices of the International Luge Federation (FIL) which was formed earlier that year.
Also, it was the first time the championships had been held after being cancelled the previous year. 
Death of Georgian athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili.
Hours before the opening ceremony, Nodar Kumaritashvili of Georgia was killed during a training run for the luge after he was thrown from his sled and struck a steel pillar at high speed, near the end of the course.
The International Luge Federation called an emergency meeting after the accident, and all other training runs were cancelled for the day.
Vancouver Olympics Organizing Committee (VANOC) was criticized after members of the media assumed that VANOC was the governing body that conducted a prompt 12-hour investigation into the luger's death, which put the blame on the luger.
In fact, it was the International Luge Federation (ILF) which conducted the investigation.
The ILF has stated that it will investigate the crash and issue a report around the end of March 2010.
Furthermore, the Whistler Sliding Centre, which has recorded some of the fastest speeds in luge history, was the site of several non-fatal accidents during training runs leading up to the start of the games.
For more than a year prior to the Olympics, luge competitors had complained that the track was too fast and the turns were too dangerous.
Athletes had nicknamed turn 13 the "50-50" turn for their chances of getting through it without crashing.
Kumaritashvili was killed on turn 16, the last turn of the course.
As a result, the height of the wall Kumaritashvili surmounted was increased, with added wooden panels and padding.
Officials also ordered changes to the layout of the final turn of the Whistler luge track, making it slower and safer, and moved the men's and women's luge starts down the track.
Kumaritashvili's teammate, Levan Gureshidze, did not race.
He was on the official start list for the first run but withdrew, telling other racers he could not go on.
He instead flew back to Georgia to mourn the loss of his fallen teammate.
After the starting gates were changed, competitors have complained that the junior starting position enters the main track with a turn that is too tight, causing sledders problems at the beginning of their runs.
Some have also complained that slowing the course has decreased the challenge and forced them to adjust their strategy.
Eleven months before the death of Kumaritashvili, VANOC Chief Executive Officer John Furlong started to be concerned that an athlete could get “badly injured or even worse" on the luge track.
Josef Fendt, who is the President of the International Luge Federation, stated in a letter to the designer of the luge track that luge track was recording "historic sled speeds" that the speeds were nearly 20 kilometres an hour faster than the track designer had anticipated.
John Furlong received a copy of the letter and asked for the situation to be looked at by the "legal guys".
Svein Romstad, general secretary of the International Luge Federation, stated that the International Luge Federation "would have sought major changes to the Whistler track if it had known ahead of time that speeds would be so much higher than calculated."
A memo dated January 30, 2006 stated that, in March 2005, the International Luge Federation wanted major changes to 6 curves on the luge track including curves 15 and 16, where Kumaritashvili’s problem began.
Kumaritashvili's father became angry after reports showed that VANOC didn't act on their own concerns about the luge track's safety.
The family of Kumaritashvili received an insurance payout worth $150,000 from the VANOC.VANOC broke some rules in regards to the luging and bobsleigh track.
International Luge Federation states that "the length for a luge track must not exceed 1,350 metres."
G-force was critical in the accident that killed Kumaritashvili.
The rules of the International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing Federation states that a G-force of 5 is the limit for the track.
A G-force of 5.02 is possible for male lugers on the track in Whistler.
The rules of the International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing Federation also states that "to prevent the deterioration of the ice during warm, sunny periods, the finish straight should be shaded or covered."
Part of what was to be considered in the shading of the finish straight was the safety of the athlete.
The final straight was where the accident took place.
Since the investigation and currently, sliders no longer start at the Upper Start area - they start 190 m downhill at the Lower Start - C1.
The President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, thanked the hosts for the way that they handled Kumaritashvili's death which included a moment of silence and a tribute at the opening ceremony.
