luger
Supine track racer
A luger is a person who rides a luge—a small sled ridden face-up and feet-first down an icy track at high speeds.
Lugers compete in the Winter Olympics, steering by shifting body weight and applying pressure to the runners: The luger hit speeds over 90 miles per hour on the final stretch.
