ABSTRACT:
A dual braking system is provided for high speed sleds in which the center of gravity of the operator is placed between fore and aft brake shoes, which are operated simultaneously by the operator without the need for shifting positions. Thus, the brake system is effective even though the operator is naturally shifted forward by the braking action. Also included in the brake system is a wheel assembly, which may be operated by the single brake lever to accommodate fast acceleration. Operating the brake lever to shift the wheel assembly into effective operative shifts the center of gravity of the operator over the wheel assembly. The dual brake shoes pivot around horizontal axes and are disposed adjacent the longitudinal centerline of the sled to avoid lateral deflection of the sled when the brakes are applied.
