Abstract
A recreational slide assembly is provided which includes one or more of an improved angularly upstanding slide provided with a web-like flexible slide, a buoyant landing pad or splash pad attached to the bottom of the web-like slide member and extending therefrom into a water-containing pool, the pool being preferably in the form of a soft-walled, non-inflatable assembly which is retained in its operative condition by reason of water contained therein, and a water distribution pipe constituting a load bearing member of the frame of the slide assembly. The preferred water distribution pipe holds the upper margin of the flexible slide member to assist in maintaining it in operative position, supports a platform member forming a part of the slide and supplies a spray of water along the flexible slide member to lubricate the same.
