Lehaut Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Doing our shopping on Friday came across this, rigged in a shopping centre in Nantes. The kids hurtling down this "death slide" seemed to be enjoying it. That is after they climbed the near vertical ladder onto a home made wooden stage lashed to the building structure. Thought the beer crate they stood on to reach the cable was a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveLister Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I love the fact the kid is wearing a mask🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Seems quite safe to me; there is at least someone to supervise. As kids in the school CCF we built death slides that were a lot steeper than that and slid down them with great glee, with ne’ery a helmet in sight. I am still here to tell the tale. The French seem less absolute about health and safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to me like heavy duty webbing, as used for towing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Doesn't look like any towing webbing or ratchet straps that I've got - they are either orange or yellow. Maybe smooth braided climbing rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssomon Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 (edited) There are others besides what you have. e.g.https://www.amazon.fr/Braun-20042HB-boucles-renforcées-capacité/dp/B002C1ARSK/ref=asc_df_B002C1ARSK/?tag=googshopfr-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=194868891965&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10169985011655647695&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9110773&hvtargid=pla-350423648596&psc=1 Edit: O.K. that's for lifting.
