Bobsleigh is a winter sport where teams go down narrow, twisting, banked, ice tracks on gravity powered sleds.

The objective of the game is to win the race by crossing the finish line in the least amount of time possible in two or four runs.

• The pilot is in charge of steering the bobsled down the curved, narrow track.
• The brakeman is the one who presses down on a set of pads at certain points in the track in order for the vehicle to take corners at optimum speed.

• Helmets and eye goggles for protection.
• Spike shoes so when athletes are taking their running start that don’t slip.
• Kevlar Vests are for the brakesman to prevent friction burns
• Bobsleigh vehicles 
• Steering equipment that helps the pilot direct the vehicle.
