It's an old article (that's just popped up again) so I won't be surprised if we haven't 'done this' before.
But I'll also be very surprised if this still doesn't cough up some great, eye-watering, off season stories.

Churchill Gardens estate in Pimlico, London, 1978
Balfron Tower playground, Poplar, London, 2015
Our local slide was comparatively mahooosive.
But halfway down it leveled off for a couple of feet before the second descent.
No guide rails - naturally.
On optimum slide days, with the correct polyester nylon blend shorts on, even the most timid of slidophiles would generate enough speed to take off at the start of the second descent.
If we were lucky we'd land back onto the downslope.
If we were lucky enough we'd land on the flat run off.
If we were somewhat unlucky we'd clear the whole thing landing on the floor.
Concrete floor - naturally.
Happy dayz.
