Core technical requirements

Technical parameters of inflatable slides

According to Section 5.6 of the standard, the safety design of inflatable slides must meet the following requirements:

  • The maximum angle between the sliding section and the horizontal plane is ≤60°.
  • The inclination of the buffer zone is ≤10°, and the length is ≥50% of the height of the slide platform.
  • A safety pressure relief valve must be installed at the bottom of the slide to ensure the safe landing of the players.

Material performance test

Flexible fabric is the core material of inflatable amusement facilities, and its tensile strength and tear strength must meet the following requirements:

  • Tensile strength ≥1850 N.
  • Tear strength ≥350 N.
  • Air tightness test ensures that the facility maintains its shape under rated pressure.

Implementation suggestions

To ensure the effective implementation of the standard, it is recommended that:

  1. Amusement facility manufacturers must strictly follow the material and structural requirements for design and production.
  2. Users should regularly check the integrity of fixed points, electrical devices and safety signs.
  3. Regulatory authorities should strengthen the promotion of standards and strictly investigate and punish products that do not meet the requirements.
