What is the maximum average incline of a slide chute for preschool/school-age?

  1. 30 degrees

  2. 40 degrees

  3. 45 degrees

  4. 50 degrees

The correct answer is: 30 degrees

The maximum average incline of a slide chute for preschool/school-age children is typically 30 degrees. This is because a steeper incline could pose a safety risk to younger children who may have trouble maintaining their balance while sliding down. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they all have higher incline angles, which could potentially be too steep for preschool/school-age children to safely use the slide. Additionally, a steeper incline could also impact the speed at which children travel down the slide, making it too fast for their age group. Therefore, 30 degrees is the recommended maximum average incline for slide chutes for preschool/school-age children.
