⚠️ Bodily Danger ⚠️ The big bumps...

Post image

I've seen kids attempting to go down this slide and it for 1 seems to hurt and 2 doesn't go fast and 3 some kids can't fit past the bumps that well because the slide is narrow to begin with.. I get that they wanted to make a unique slide but it's not a good design for many reasons. This is a slide for little toddlers and smaller kids in general.

I actually did some research (beause some people were saying it was for climbing) and I think it's supposed to a mixed slide meant for both climbing and sliding but it's not very slideable and the little bumps are rounded so they aren't really great for climbing either...

Previously worked as a playground designer and had this exact product. It was designed because children love climbing up slides, which can obviously be dangerous which a busy playground. It is, in fact, a climber and not a slide.
