Hey, Frank .... Have a GREAT weekend. You seem so excited .... I'm sure
it's gonna be a super time. What's the difference between a toboggan and a
sled? Shel
A sled has two steel runners, to run on packed snow or ice.
A toboggan is flat on the bottom, made of long wood strips bent up at the front, to slide across deep snow without sinking in.
A sled has wooden rails along the sides of the wood platform you lie or sit on, for hand grips.
A toboggan has ropes fore and aft for the seated passengers to grip for stability...
Or, at least that's how they USED to be made, back in this old dinosaur's times... <g>

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
