Abstract:
A residential playground slide for mounting to an above-ground platform, comprising:a. a double wall slide bed surface formed in a U-shaped scoop defining a flat bottom U-shape at a first end and a semi-circular U-shape at a second end, wherein the surface of the scoop becomes generally progressively curved from the first end towards the second end, and with a first and a second side wall formed integrally with the slide bed, wherein the first and second side walls assist in preventing a user from falling off to a side of the slide bed; b. the first end attaching to a platform and the second end proximate with the ground; c. a footing integrally formed with the second end for holding the second end off the ground; d. the slide bed having a varying slope from the first end to the second end for causing the user to experience a variable acceleration rate while traversing the slide; and e. a strut integrally formed with the underside of the slide bed and parallel to the longitudinal axis of the slide bed.
