Abstract

Tobogganing is a form of sledding and a popular wintertime recreational activity with Canadian historic roots. Originally developed by Canada’s First Nations people for transportation, the toboggan eventually came to enjoy widespread use as a vehicle for recreational sledding. In the modern world, tobogganing is a fun activity enjoyed by people of all ages in countries around the world where snowy winter weather is a regular occurrence. Over time, the popularity of tobogganing also paved the way for the development of several similar Winter Olympic sports, including bobsledding, luging, and skeleton racing. Despite some safety concerns, tobogganing remains a favorite pastime among those who love spending time outdoors during the winter months.
