A relative of the sled is the bobsled, it rather is a lengthy narrow sled geared up with a steerage mechanism. The bobsled is designed for speed, and in many situations contains one or 2 people for racing. A toboggan, or flat sled, is a good floor it rather is grew to develop into up interior the front.

Answer 8

a toboggan is a long narrow sled without runners, made of strips of wood running lengthwise and curled up at the front, used for coasting downhill on snow.

So they are basically the same thing.
