意味（1）

(sports, uncountable) A type of tobogganing in which competitors lie face down, and descend head first.

Lugers, who slide feet first and reach the highest speeds, experience some of the same forces, but seem to suffer far fewer concussion-like symptoms than bobsled and skeleton athletes do, probably because a support strap often prevents their heads from banging into the ice.
