Bobsleigh
Bobsleigh or bobsled is a winter sport in which teams of 2 to 4 athletes make timed speed runs down narrow, twisting, banked, iced tracks in a gravity-powered sleigh.

The early sleds were adapted from boys' delivery sleds and toboggans. These eventually evolved into bobsleighs, luges and Skeleton (sport), skeletons.
