Horizontal ladders intended for school-age children require a take-off/landing platform height above the protective surface of no more than?

18 inches max.
24 inches max.
36 inches max.
48 inches max.

The correct answer is: 36 inches max.

This is because it is important for children to have easy access to the ladder without the risk of falling from a high platform. Having a take-off/landing platform height above the protective surface of no more than 36 inches meets safety standards and reduces the potential for injuries. Options A and B are incorrect as they provide a lower platform height, which may be too low for older children to safely use the ladder. Option D is incorrect as it exceeds the recommended height, increasing the risk of injury from a fall. It is important to adhere to these standards when designing playground equipment for children.
