Review Question

Question: What is one of the main problems with the slide 'chute' on this slide?

View Answer

The sides of the slide chute must be at least four inches high. Other issues include the equipment being designed for home use, not public playgrounds and ground cover is absent.

Correction

The sides of the slide chute are at least four inches high extending along both sides for the entire length.

The equipment is designed for public playground use.

There is appropriate ground cover under the slide.
