The drop slide in the trampoline park has what requirements for the site

Drop slide with its novel form of equipment, thrilling and exciting visual and experience, since the launch of the market has won the  trampoline park  investors' interests, successfully captured a large wave of young people who are brave to try and experience stimulation, and became a popular device on the TikTok, Instagram etc social media, so more and more trampoline parks want to upgrade and increase the drop slide function project.

However, this does not mean that all trampoline parks will be able to put in drop slide equipment! 

Different from the simple slide in the general indoor playground, the drop slide has more demanding and strict requirements and restrictions on the size of the site and the height of the building. So what are the requirements and conditions for a trampoline park to do a drop slide?

1. Floor height requirements

If you want to add drop slide equipment, the site must be at least 3 floors or more of the general  indoor playground . The top of the drop slide needs to be installed in the position of the 2 floors of the platform. In other words, the height of the smallest drop slide is at least 2.8 meters and the height of the entire site is at least 4 meters.

Of course, the drop slide can also be customized to the actual conditions of the site. If your building is high enough and has enough buffer zones, the drop slide can be made not only 2.8m high, but higher.

2. Buffer area requirements

In addition to considering whether the building is high enough, it is necessary to set aside a safe buffer zone for the player. The higher the height of the drop slide, the steeper the slope, and the faster the player will go down. If the buffer zone is not long enough, the player will cause a serious security incident after crossing the buffer zone.

3. Safety net requirements

In order to ensure the safety of players in the sliding process, when doing the drop slide design, try to set a fence or fence around the slide or around the fence, the barrier formed on both sides of the fence will be half surrounded by the slide, can effectively prevent players from falling from both sides of the slide in the process of sliding, to ensure the safety of players.

4. Pay attention to the drop slide design

The drop slide function area needs to be designed differently depending on the location of the venue, fully considering the actual situation of players of all ages. If the drop slide is too difficult, it will make young players timid, and there is not enough security, and the drop slide will lose its corresponding significance. The suggestion given by us is that the site of small players can choose wave sliding, and young players can choose a 90-degree vertical slide or even a dry snow slide.

Compared to traditional slides, drop slides are more challenging and exciting, and the difficulty increases while the safety risk increases. In day-to-day operation, it is also necessary to inform players that they must follow the instructions to play the slide. In addition, children who are too young or have medical conditions such as heart disease should not play on the drop slide, which is too difficult.
