[edit] Runners

The article now defines 'sled' as "a vehicle with runners for sliding instead of wheels for rolling". This definition is imprecise, as it excludes certain types of sleds. For example, the Saami people traditionally also used a kind of sled without runners, but instead with a curved, kind of boat-shaped bottom which glided on the snow. In Finnish this kind of sledge is called "ahkio"; there is a separate article on the Finnish wikipedia on this kind of sledge, see [1] --213.139.161.102 (talk) 20:37, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
