As the critical safety zone of our Rainbow slides, the buffer area is strictly engineered in compliance with national standards, including Safety Code for Amusement Rides and Technical Specifications for Dry Ski Slides. Our design prioritizes smooth transitions, scalable sizing, and built-in safety margins to completely eliminate risks such as abrupt stops, lateral skidding, or collisions.
Key Technical Specifications:
Dimensional Grading: The buffer length must be at least 1/3 of the total slide length. Minimum requirements vary by scale: ≥15m for small slides, ≥30m for medium resort slides, and ≥40m for high-speed slides over 100m.
Gradient Transition: Features a seamless 3-stage gradient that smoothly tapers from 2°–3° down to a flat 0° stopping zone. A subtle 0.5% longitudinal slope is maintained throughout to ensure optimal drainage.
Width & Side Protection: The buffer zone is never narrower than the main slide body. Both sides are secured with 1.2m-high guardrails (post spacing ≤0.1m) and fully lined with 5cm-thick EPDM crash pads for comprehensive lateral protection.
Advanced Safety Metrics: Dedicated buffer zones are mandatory for any slide with a vertical drop exceeding 3m. We guarantee a deceleration impact of ≤5g and maintain a 2m safety clearance in the stopping area, ensuring full compliance with operational and construction acceptance standards.
