I know Clyde, and I saw that exact slide/stairs in his shop when it was partially constructed. I believe it was his first, but he has constructed quite a few similar stair/slide systems since then. Prior to construction, he made a scale model, as well as a 6 or 8 ft. mockup to determine the best angle on the slide.ohio jones wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2026 10:53 am Ascending the stairs is of greater physical benefit than descending.

Re: Physical fitness.
The slide angle is carefully engineered to make the slide not too fast or too slow.temporal1 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2026 11:16 ami’m not impressed with the drop from the slide to the floor.mike wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2026 11:07 amI know Clyde, and I saw that exact slide/stairs in his shop when it was partially constructed.
