SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Flume Material—Any material that has the following basic properties and that meets all other requirements of this practice may be used to construct water slides.
Flumes riding surfaces shall be constructed to be smooth.
Flume material shall be demonstrated as strong enough to support specified loads as defined in Section 7.
Flume components, maintained using the manufacturer’s instructions, shall not deteriorate over time in such a way that a hazard will develop.
Support Materials—Any material that has the following basic properties and that meets all other requirements of this practice may be used to construct water slide supports.
Supports for water slides shall be constructed from durable materials such as wood, metal, concrete, or engineered composites.
Supports for water slides from metal shall be either inherently corrosion resistant, or be finished in such a way as to provide protection from corrosion.
Wood materials shall be finished in such a way to provide protection against deterioration.
Support material shall be demonstrated as strong enough to support specified loads as defined in Section 6.
Supports shall be constructed to accommodate regular inspection and maintenance for structural integrity, material deterioration, or corrosion, or a combination thereof.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice applies to the classification, design, manufacture, construction, and operation of water slide systems. Water slide systems shall be defined as rides intended for use by riders in bathing attire where the action of the ride involves possible and purposeful immersion of the rider's body either in whole or in part in water, and uses circulating water to mobilize or lubricate the rider’s transportation along a purpose built path. This includes slides used with or without vehicles as defined below. The terms water slides, waterslides, and slides shall be considered equivalent when used in this practice.
1.2 For the purposes of this practice, a water slide system includes:
1.2.1 The flume,
1.2.2 The water-circulation system,
1.2.3 The starting platform with associated means of access and egress,
1.2.4 The structural supports,
1.2.5 Vehicles or other aquatic accessories that are part of the water slide as defined by the manufacturer, and
1.2.6 Means of slide termination.
1.3 This practice shall not apply to:
1.3.1 Any water slides installed in private residences,
1.3.2 Water flume amusement rides where contact with water is merely incidental (for example, log flume rides, shoot-the-chutes),
1.3.3 Amusement rides and devices whose design criteria are specifically addressed in another ASTM standard,
1.3.4 Lazy river type attractions operating at constant elevation, constructed in the ground, and
1.4 Pre-existing designs manufactured after the effective date of publication of this practice if the design is service proven or previously compliant, as defined in Section 3.1.26 of Practice F 2291, and the manufacturer provides:
1.4.1 A historical summary of the water slide, or major modification as defined in Terminology F 747, and
1.4.2 A statement that the design is service proven or previously compliant. Water slides and major modifications to water slides may qualify as previously compliant for five years following the date of publication of this practice. Thereafter, water slides and major modifications to water slides must qualify as service proven or meet the requirements of this practice.
1.4.3 Service proven or previously compliant designs shall comply with Section 8.
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
Note 1—The conversion factor from inch-pound to metric units is 1 in. = 25.4 mm, and 1 lb = 4.4482 N.
