A person who competes in luge, a winter sport involving sliding headfirst down an icy track on a small sled.
From German 'Luge' (sled) derived from French 'luge' (small bed or sled). The sport itself developed in Switzerland and became an Olympic event in 1964.
Lugers reach speeds over 90 miles per hour while lying on their backs on a sled barely bigger than a skateboard, with no engine, steering only by shifting their body weight—it's one of the most extreme and counterintuitive sports humans have invented!
