Water slide has amaximum fall distance of 3 in. from slide exit where the rider enters the water and water depth is no greater than 24 in.4.1.3 mat slideswater slide used with a designated mat as

25、 a vehicle.4.1.4 serpentine slidecurved path as viewed in geometric slide path.4.1.5 specialty slidesproprietary water slide design, such as an uphill, half-pipe, or bowl ride, which does not conform tostandard classification.4.1.6 specialty vehicle slideswater slide used with a proprietary vehicle

26、specified by the manufacturer.4.1.7 speed slidewater slide where the rider(s) achieve a velocity of 25 ft/s or more during the course of the ride.4.1.8 tube slideswater slide used with a single or multi-person water slide tube.5.
