For sliding poles accessed from platforms, the fall height is the distance between the ___ and the ___.

platform and the protective surfacing
ground and the platform
top of the pole and the ground
platform and the highest point of the pole

The correct answer is: platform and the protective surfacing

The fall height for a sliding pole accessed from a platform refers to the distance between the platform and the protective surfacing. This is because the height of the platform and the materials used for the protective surfacing are the most important factors in determining the potential fall height. Option B, ground and the platform, is incorrect because it does not take into account the protective surfacing. Option C, top of the pole and the ground, is incorrect because the fall height is not measured from the top of the pole, but rather from the platform. Option D, platform and the highest point of the pole, is incorrect because the highest point of the pole may not necessarily be the point from which a fall would occur.
