IOC- What's going on?

This Georgian olympic luger flew down the track a little to fast. I'm sure you have heard the story- RIP. However, where should the blame be pointed? I think there are two different viewpoints. Obviously this is a somewhat sensitive subject, but I am curious. I will not find an answer because I do not have the means. But is this murder or suicide? The constant concern around the International Olympic Committee is that they desire for the world's best athletes to test their limits. How big can they go? Can they fly higher? go faster? But at what cost? Obviously the risk is higher. It is like going from a rural road onto a highway. From 45 MPH to 80. For these Lugers, they can reach 100 MPH. There is very little that can be considered safe at 100 MPH. But the IOC, the professionals, the supreme court of the Olympics, deemed this track to be safe. So could it be the fault of this olympian? The man was new to the games, he was inexperienced. He was not favored to win anything.  He had spoke on the phone with his parents a few days before. He spoke of the track and openly admitted that it was scary. He was quoted as saying that one of the last turns 'terrified' him. That turn, in the end, was fatal. So, you be the judge, blame the IOC and their high standards of competition and strive to push the limits? Or an overly ambitious kid with no intent to slow down for safety?
