Safety standards back in 1960s

It's death?

"wheeeeeee... *plonk*"

I mean, I would probably try to swing or something so good thing they improved

And they paid for it? I'd rather die.

The angle of it looks intense, but there's not "that much" distance between most chairs and the slope. It wouldn't be fun, but it's like 7-10 feet from the ground usually (and when there's snow it's a "soft" buffer) which is easily survivable with minimal injury if you don't land on your head/neck.
