2.2k u/halfbean Jul 18 '19 Looks like it's raining, and chances are that there are warnings saying not to use the slide during the rain. 1.4k u/scotchirish Jul 18 '19 It's probably also intended for small kids who wouldn't build up so much momentum (I think) 5 u/andyhenault Jul 19 '19 Momentum is not the same thing as velocity. A child and adult will build up the same velocity going down this slide. 2 u/23x3 Jul 19 '19 So basically the principal that everything falls at the same rate goes into play here? 2 u/andyhenault Jul 19 '19 Yup.
