An unidentified rider falls into straw as he fails to pass Shuttlcock Corner during a practice at the natural ice run of the Cresta Run in the Swiss mountain resort of St. Moritz February 6, 2015. The private St. Moritz Tobogganing Club (SMTC), with its world-wide membership, was founded in St Moritz 1887. The natural ice run starts in St. Moritz and winds its way down a valley to what was the village of Cresta, but which now forms part of the village Celerina. It is approximately 3/4 mile (1,212m) in length with a drop of 514 feet (157m) and has to be built new every year from snow and water. REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann (SWITZERLAND)

I corridori di skeleton, che si cimentano sul Cresta Run, tra St. Moritz e Celerina, arrivano fino ai 130 chilometri orari. Il canale di ghiaccio è la pista da bob dell’esclusivo St. Moritz Tobogganing Club. Il suo punto più pericoloso è il Shuttlecock, protetto con la paglia. Fortunatamente, anche per questo concorrente sconosciuto, il 6 febbraio 2015.
