#31: What an Angle
One thing that thankfully has improved a lot is child safety laws. There’s no way you could build a slide like this at such a sharp angle in today’s world. However, that does mean that the new generation is missing out on one heck of a fun time with this slide. Who else remembers the adrenaline of going on one of these?
Whizzing down this thing felt like a rollercoaster, and you honestly didn’t know if you’d get to the ground in one piece at the end. If it was a summer’s day, then it was twice as bad – the metal felt about 5000 degrees, but you just dealt with it for the thrill of being on a slide. Older generations really went through some painful experiences!
