Great Big Story visited with American bobsledder Aja Evans, who is competing at the PyeongChang Olympic Winter Games 2018, to find out what it feels like as she rockets down a slick racetrack at 90 mph.
Sliding down a slick racetrack at up to 90 mph, bobsledding requires a strong constitution and a need for speed. Athletes can be subjected to up to 5 g's, or five times the force of gravity-the same pressure that a fighter pilot may experience. Strap in tight, and get ready for the ride of a lifetime.
