The Slippery Death. A Sign at the top of the St. Moritz, Switzerland, bobsleigh run reads. "Anyone going down the bob run does so at his own risk. The club declines all responsibility." Next to it is another one which states that, "insurance against accidents can be contracted here". The insurance rates are high because accidents are all too frequent at St. Moritz. The bobsleigh run, which is only a mile long, is known as the "slippery death" among the locals and rightly so because sudden death lurks behind every one of the tortuous hairpin bends which are the special feature of the run. The bobsleighs weigh anything up to half a ton, and reach speeds in excess of 80 mph. March 29, 1937. (Photo by Sport & General Press Agency, Limited).
