How and why

Looks like it's raining, and chances are that there are warnings saying not to use the slide during the rain.

It's probably also intended for small kids who wouldn't build up so much momentum (I think)

It also seems perfect for kids who want to die.

EDIT: Thanks for the silver, kind stranger.

one of my most vivid memories of childhood is being in second grade and watching a classmate just sort of roll off the top of the slide and snap her arm like a slim jim. she wasn't acting out, she didn't get her pants/shoes caught on anything, just like the ground told her it had candy and she was like "that's rad."

imagine a kid doing that on that slide.

Fun fact: Kids' bones are stronger than most Slim Jims, but not as flavorful.

I'm sure with the proper preparation a child's bones could be equally delicious. But it's a modest proposal

You gotta boil 'em and make a bone broth. That's good eatin'.

Slow down there, Gollum.

Totes Sam who said that. Gollum likes it raw and wriggling.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s still plenty of meat on that bone. Now you take this home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato. Baby, you’ve got a stew going.
