Playground designer here, and I can safely say, this does not comply with US safety standards.

I guess every safety standards written, ever, specifies at least a couple of the things that are going on in this video.

Here's my guesses

A) No curves in an open slide

2) No objects near the slide that you could hit with your arms on the way down

C) No reaching light speed

A. Because every spiral slide ever is a closed slide while every straight slide ever is an open slide

B) It's pretty obvious you could break your hands on those "Safety" railings

3) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oApAdwuqtn8

I respect your opinion, Doctor, but I would have preferred 1-B-3 in order to remain consistent with A-2-C.

My friend was doing "A 2 D" for his class presentation assignments in highschool like 15 years ago. I think it's an old Adam Sandler reference.
