Straight Slides

· Flat open chutes should have slides at least 4 inches high extending along both sides of the chute for the entire length of the inclined sliding surface.

· Slides may have an open chute with a circular, semicircular or curved cross section

provided that:

A. The vertical height of the slide is no less than 4 inches when measured at right angles to a horizontal line that is 8 inches long when the slide is intended for Toddlers, 12 inches long when the slide is intended for preschool-age-children, and 16 inches long when the slide intended for school-age-children;

B. For any age group, the vertical height of the slides is no less than 4 inches minus two times the width of the slide chute divided by the radius of the slide chute curvature.

Chute Exit Region

All slides should have an exit region to help children maintain their balance and facilitate a smooth transition from sitting to standing when exiting. The chute exit region should:

· Be between 0 and -4°as measured from a plane parallel to the ground.

· Have edges that are rounded or curved to prevent lacerations or other injuries that could result from impact with a sharp or straight edge.

· For toddlers the chute exit region should:

- Be between 7 and 10 inches long if any portion of the chute exceeds a 24°

Slope.

- Be no more than 6 inches above the protective surfacing.

- Have a transition from the sliding portion to the exit region with a radius of

curvature of at least 18 inches.

· For preschool and school-age the chute exit region should:

- Be at least 11 inches long.

- Be no more than 11 inches above the protective surfacing if the slide is no

greater than 4 feet high.
