The Slalom Glider is a playground slide that lacks a transition platform on the top and sides of the chute. Children can fall when moving from the ladder to the slide and when descending the chute.

YIKES! Those were really sold since 2006 and no one said "hey, wait a minute!" til now? The lack of platform is the least of the problems!

As a grown adult who misses the "dangerous" playground equipment of old... I think that think looks scary. It looks like it would require too careful balance to even be fun. :thumbsdown:

It also looks like a giant tongue.

This is in our neighborhood playground. My 4 and 8 year old SDs loved it. The 8 year old said it looked weird at first and kinda scary, the 4 year old exclaimed, "wow, cool, a slide with no sides!" as she ran towards it. LOL.

I'm sad its going away.

I've seen them too but kids aren't usually sliding like the picture shows. That pic scares me, but I've just seen kids going down backwards like down a bannister and thought it was fine. They also try to climb up it.
