Slip 'n Slide - "Cool splashing fun for all ages." (1961)

Deploy it on your yard, and enjoy waterpark at home. ... Well, if only you have yard, or backyard.

Too bad, you live in a rented 20m2 apartment.

I had an oak tree in my backyard. Using a slip n slide when there are acorns all over the ground is not fun.
Remembering being covered in freshly cut grass when I reached the bottom.

Did these work well for anyone?
- When put on a decent hill with a hose up top, then stepfather added another 100 feet of tarpaper after the slip and slide.
  You would think tarpaper would not be slidy but when covered with water it was slick as shit and you would hit it going 80mph from the slip and slide and just keep on going even off the end and into the grass puddle.
  The actual slide by itself especially on a level surface was pretty much just used to see who could 'surf' on it with the feet until someone inevitably cracked their head pretty hard and the fun would stop
- hell yeah lol
- Oh yeah for sure. Get a good sprint going and throw yourself right at it and you'll slide to the end with enough speed left over to send you tumbling through the grass for a few feet more.
  
  Don’t forget discovering the hidden metal sprinkler heads under or at the end of the plastic.
- I have no idea how that think work.
  I think, it work like those in waterpark. However, I wonder how you can keep water flow in the flat plastic bag, and how it can work on un-even ground
  
  The water doesn’t stay on the plastic, sliding down it gets water everywhere. You just put the hose at the top and it runs down the plastic. On bumpy ground you just slide and go “ow” and keep on trying your best because fun > pain.
