Best Answer

The skeleton and bobsleigh are different. The skeleton is only ridden by one person laying on his stomach going down the track head first. The bobsleigh is ridden by one, two, or four people; one person rides the sleigh laying on his back going feet first; two and four people ride the bobsleigh sitting down.
