What's the need for upgradation:
The Conventional Wooden Cart, basically made of Wooden Plywood and having capacity to accommodate up to 3 persons for sledging, have issues like poor control and maneuverability during the usage. Actually, Tourists have to put extra pressure from their feet to move the Cart either Right or Left or to Stop while declining on the slope. It was reveled that, Sometimes Tourists are not able to stop the cart at all due to high speed and steep declining slopes.

Plus points of New and Upgraded Wooden Cart:
This upgraded Cart have a circular handle with attached curved metal plate, the metal plate may help to provide greater maneuverability and control. Let me explain it in detail, actually the basic structural design of this cart is very much similar to the conventional cart. Basically, the handle installed in the cart is to give the whole system a movement towards either Right or Left direction as the situation needs to be. This facility of making right-left movement is not available in the conventional carts. Now, the best part of this upgraded cart, when the rider wants to stop the cart, he/she has to turn the circular wheel nearly 90 degrees of the initial position, this will trigger an adequate resistance in the moving position of the cart due to storage of ice in front of the curved metal plate. let me describe it more elaborately, the whole purpose of installing this curved metal plate is to provide resisting force when we require to stop the cart, this resisting force may come into the picture when the metal plate stores bulk of ice in front of it. since Newton's second law applies here.
