Slides are fun and sliding provides an exhilarating way to descend from a height. The exhilaration of the unfamiliar, apparently risky movement is an important play element of the slide. This downhill glide without doing anything other than overcoming self-doubt and being daring, is enjoyable and provides a sense of achievement. Particularly fun is tandem or twin gliding on a wide slide. This is also suited for therapy, where the patient can enjoy sliding with the carer.
