What is a "skeleton sled"?
A skeleton sled is a small, narrow sled used in the sport of skeleton racing, where an athlete rides head-first and face-down on an ice track. The sled is made of lightweight, durable materials and has metal strips on the bottom that help it glide smoothly over the ice. The athlete lies on the sled and steers using subtle movements of the body, as they race down the track at high speeds. Skeleton sleds are designed to be fast, responsive, and aerodynamic to provide the rider with control and stability while navigating the track.
