but it was in an airline training facility so there were no issues with emergencies or luggage. But that slide is very long and steep and it was quite the ride, even though the floor was padded. Under the circumstances, though, it was kind of fun. I learned that you have to keep your arms tucked in or you'll get rug burns on your hands and elbows.
