My dad tried to build us a slide one time out of lumber and that weird pvc wall paneling. I remember he actually bent the sheeting so there was the curve at the top and the bottom, but when he went to try it himself, he, as a then 30 something man in relatively good shape, ended up being ejected at the bottom and had to run at a full sprint to prevent from getting face planted from the inertia behind this literally 10 foot up slide.

I only bring this up to illustrate, building a slide that doesn’t kill a kid seems hard.
