Description
Playground slides are normallyfound in amusement parks, schools and kindergartens, indoor outdoor playgrounds and backyards. The slide is an example of the play items known as the inclined plane, which makes moving objects up and down easier, or in this case more fun for play. The slide may be flat, or half cylindrical or tubular to prevent falls. Slides are usually constructed of plastic or metal/ stainless steel and they have a smooth surface that is either straight or wavy. The user, typically children, climbs to the top of the slide via a ladder or stairs and sits down on the top of the slide and slides down the chute.
