Some cities are banning tobogganning outright because they are having to pay damages to people who are seriously injured. So, while it's a topic being discussed, probably a good time to point out where it is and isn't legal.

Quote:
In 2013, the city of Hamilton was ordered to pay lawyer Bruno Uggenti $900,000 after he injured his spine on a toboggan run — this despite the city’s tobogganing ban.
In Edmonton that same year, Samantha Giese filed a $900,000 lawsuit claiming she was injured when her sled collided with a ski jump.
