Okay, so it isn't Mrs. Spears in a car, but...

I'm not any kind of expert in human biology. What little I know of human biology I recall from my classes in anatomy and physiology in high school and extrapolations from what I know of biological systems in general (through college courses). So bear that in mind when I ask in all seriousness, "Is the following okay?"

Skeleton is a fun-looking Olympic event. Basically, a person pushes a sled into an ice tube, jumps, stomach-first, onto the sled and rides to the bottom of the tube with their face an inch from the shiny ice beneath them. One of the female skeleton competitors in the Olympics revealed that she is currently 2 months pregnant.

Maybe I'm getting soft on babies as I get older, but I winced when her stomach impacted the sled when she jumped on from her running start.

I know that the fetus is really tiny at that point, and I'm probably just out of touch with women's biological issues, but that really bothered me for some reason.
