Answer 1

i'D SAY YOU CUD. iT'S NOT ONE OF THOSE SLIDS THAT CAN BREAK WHEN YOU GO ON IT, AND THEY ARE PROBS JUST SAYING THAT ON THE THING. soz for the caps lock....

Answer 2

You should still be able to go on it. The written weight limit is always like 5 to 10 kg lower than the  actual weight limit. It's not inflatable so your weight wont deflate it.  The worst thing that will happen is you'll go a little bit (not much!) slower. Try rubbing the slide with soap.

Answer 3

you could probably go on it when no one else is on it.

Answer 4

it's not always there for the safety, sometimes it's just a guideline on what age range it is suitable for. And if it were for safety, they are not going to put it dead on age and weight, it will have to be an approximate really so go for it and have fun!

P.S. I have seen many adults on these lol so trust me you should be fine

Answer 5

it looks like nothing would happen, its not like its a blow up slide. really whats the worst that can happen.i wouldnt worry because it doesnt look like anything could happen :)

Answer 6

Well u Could ask an Adult or go to ur local swimming pool the matinence personal( who work on the pool/ Slides) there might be able to help u

Answer 7

who cares just do it nothing will happen

Answer 8

nah its fine. i use to have one of them when i was younger and my dad use to use it. its fine, they are just saying the recommended age. but im 13 and heck i wanna use it.

Answer 9

whats the worst that can happen if you do use it?

Answer 10

i wouldnt worry too much about the age but try to be cautious when going on it

i doubt much will happen but still, be careful

Answer 11

use it, if it breaks it breaks

P.S. sed is not a word, it's said

Answer 12

nufin will happen .  enjoy it.

if it was those other slides from which u climb on then i wud say no .. but this one isnt soo go on to it.

HAVE FUN!

(enjoy the summer while u can)

Answer 13

I would i do not listen to the ages on thing!!! i do not think it will brake if you go on it!!

Answer 14

i don't think weight will be an issue, they probably make one that is more expensive for adults and thats why they put a limit on it. But by looking at the slide how can it not be ok !

Answer 15

yeah you can still use it! You are not goin' to  break it! I am 13 and would still use it! It's a cool slide, have fun!

Answer 16

i dont see why not, it isnt like its on a frame or anything it shouldbe fine , enjoy yourself

Answer 17

Course you can as long as you're super-careful!

Answer 18

All those guidlines mean is that it is tested and recommended as safe for people within that range. Its entirely up to you what you do with it once you've bought it; I imagine a few people have broken the rules before and survived, so just enjoy it and have fun!  :)
