The crowd immediately fell silent, as her parents in the audience nervously awaited word on her status while her coaches buried their heads in their hands.

Though Sweeney was slow to get up, she eventually walked off on her own, and later said she was okay, suffering only bumps and bruises.

As mentioned, the ninth curve on the luge track has given several lugers trouble already. While there haven't been outcries about safety as some past Olympics have had, falls like Sweeney's will put other lugers and viewers on edge as they approach the turn.
