In the case of trough slides, installed on slopes and having contact with the ground along their entire length, the mounting height will generally not have a major impact on the safety of users. However, for open slides such as half-tube slides, where the free fall height exceeds 2.5m (or 2m if the starting part is easily accessible), the standard PN-EN 1176-3:2017-12 provides for the use of side barriers of no less than 50cm in height.
Nevertheless, in our catalogue of ready-made designs for single scoop slides, we only offer devices where the free fall height does not exceed 2.5m. Aware of the unpredictability of children, we realize that in the case of significant heights, the safest slides are definitely those with a closed cross-section. For this reason, in such situations we recommend our clients to consider choosing a tube slide.
