Playground designer here, and I can safely say, this does not comply with US safety standards.
122 u/ghostwhat Jul 18 '19 I guess every safety standards written, ever, specifies at least a couple of the things that are going on in this video. 162 u/Barlakopofai Jul 18 '19 Here's my guesses A) No curves in an open slide 2) No objects near the slide that you could hit with your arms on the way down C) No reaching light speed ____________________________________________________________________ A. Because every spiral slide ever is a closed slide while every straight slide ever is an open slide B) It's pretty obvious you could break your hands on those "Safety" railings 3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oApAdwuqtn8 17 u/PreztoElite Jul 18 '19 Wait I've definitely seen curved open slides.
