Why does a child on a toboggan fall back when the toboggan is given a sharp tug?

When the toboggan is given a sharp tug, it accelerates quickly due to an external force acting on it. Since the child is not directly holding onto the toboggan, there is a delay in the transfer of this acceleration to the child, causing them to fall back before catching up with the increased speed of the toboggan.
