The players of the U.S. four-seater bobsleigh team had a terrible accident.

Britain's 'The Sun' said on the 14th, "The U.S. bobsleigh team suffered a catastrophic moment. During the four-seater race, three players bounced off and slipped on the ice," he said.

The accident occurred in the fifth competition of the "2025-2026 IBSF World Cup" held at the track in Saint-Moritz, Switzerland on the 11th.

The media said, "This shocking accident occurred in the race start section. The four-seater bobsled game is carried out by players pushing the sled to accelerate it and then climbing up one after another, and a fatal mistake occurred in the process," he explained.

"After the first player got on board, the players who followed missed the rhythm and began to get tangled up with each other. In the end, only one of the four team members sat properly in the sled, and the other three plummeted to the ice floor," he said.

The sleds had already accelerated and began to descend along the track, and the three players who crashed were thrown behind the sleds sliding at tens of kilometers per hour.

"The broadcasters who watched this scene lamented that it was a 'terrible disaster,'" the media said. "As bobsleigh is an event that competes for 0.01 seconds, such a mistake at the start is a fatal accident that goes beyond a simple time delay and leads to abandonment of the game."

Fortunately, it did not lead to a major accident. The players got up straight after sliding on the ice. The media said, "The team's records and rankings collapsed in an instant. The "domino" crash, in which the training efforts were quickly wiped out, shocked the fans watching the scene," he said.

Hunter Powell, who fell from the sled, said, "It's a little stiff, but it's okay. I think I'll recover in a few days. "I hit the ice floor and the wall a little hard (at the time of the accident), but I'm glad it wasn't a big injury," he said.

Chris Fogt, head coach for the U.S. national team, also said, "I was very lucky. It was a situation that could have led to more terrible consequences. "Thanks to the player's calm response, we were able to prevent a bigger disaster," he said.
