A helter skelter is an amusement ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower.
 Users climb up inside the tower and slide down the outside, usually on a mat or hessian (burlap) sack.
 Typically the ride will be of wooden construction and, in the case of fairground versions, designed to be disassembled to facilitate transportation between sites.
 The term is primarily (but not exclusively) found in the United Kingdom.
 In the United States, the ride is uncommon and may be called by other names, such as a "Skyslide".

 Lourenço, claiming to be descended from kings of Kongo and Angola, travelled to Rome in 1684 to protest to the Pope against slavery.
 His petitions, which presented a firsthand account of the cruelties inflicted by slavery, supported by Capuchin missionaries, convinced the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith and led directly to the March 20th, 1686 condemnation by Pope Innocent XI.
