Really Long Slide

steep slide

It must be fun to live near this park in Okayama prefecture:

The slide is 23 meters (75 feet) long. Tall barriers on its sides prevent kids from accidentally falling off during their journey to the bottom.

if your a skinny athletic kid, maybe you can enjoy the slide a good 10 times, now if your a fat kid, you would be lucky to ride on that thing….did you see the stairs? damn

It would be awesome in the winter. Get some buckets of water and make it an ice slide.

I doubt that would be possible with this particular slide, since they probably don’t get freezing temperatures that often. According to http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B2%A1%E5%B1%B1%E5%B8%82#.E6.B0.97.E5.80.99 the average lowest temperature in the winter is 1 degree celsius.

It still quite likely gets below freezing temperature sometimes with an average of 1°C. You should pay more attention in math class.

2-3 cans of silicone spray and a canvas rug and you’d be flying off the end of that slide.

I didn’t see an upward ramp at the end, so the most you’d be doing is digging assorted ruts in the ground as you skip across dirt like rocks on a pond.
