Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) Practice Exam

The exit region of a slide chute should be angled between how many degrees?

1. 0 and -4 degrees

2. 0 and 4 degrees

3. -2 and 2 degrees

4. 1 and 5 degrees

The correct answer is: 0 and -4 degrees

The exit region of a slide chute should be angled between 0 and -4 degrees. This is because this angle helps to slow down the movement of the object sliding down the chute, thus preventing it from forcefully flying off the chute at the end. Option B is incorrect as sliding objects would still have too much momentum at 0 and 4 degrees. Option C is incorrect because -2 and 2 degrees is not angled enough to reduce momentum. Option D is incorrect as the angle range of 1 and 5 degrees is too narrow and objects may still have too much momentum to safely exit the chute.
