📖 Key Information
Skeleton is a winter sliding sport in which a person rides a small sled, known as a skeleton bobsled (or bobsleigh), down a frozen track while lying face down and head-first. The sport and the sled may have been named for the sled's resemblance to a ribcage.
Unlike other sliding sports of bobsleigh and luge, the race always involves single riders.
