I think the best crashes have been the men's and women's downhill and super G courses. Speedskating and luge wipeouts start and end too quickly. Slalom and GS crashes are relatively slower speed. With downhill/Super G, you can sometimes see the racer getting into trouble two or three turns earlier, struggling to get it back together, losing, and then the aftermath at 80+ mph can go on for hundreds of feet.

I also think there are more than usual, maybe it's the type of sports now in the Olympics. All these 1/2 pipe, cross skiing, whatever it's called. Or maybe it's the ambient conditions making everything slipperier.
