Talk about an amazing save. 

Indian luger Shiva Keshavan took a licking but kept on ticking during a training run.

The 32-year-old, who is competing without his country's flag because of an IOC ban, slips off his sled at about 43 seconds into the video.

Then he miraculously got back atop of it to finish out his training run. 

But because there are no rules disqualifying a luger if he or she falls off a sled and still completes their run, Keshavan's training run time of 1:01.64 is officially on record.

Perhaps it can be chalked up to experience. This is Keshavan's fifth Olympics.
