What is the maximum height of the take-off/landing platform above the protective surfacing for preschool?

  1. 18 inches

  2. 36 inches

  3. 7 inches

  4. 60 inches

The correct answer is: 18 inches

The maximum height of the take-off/landing platform above the protective surfacing for preschools is 18 inches. This is because it follows safety measures and regulations for young children. Preschoolers are not yet able to fully assess risks and could potentially fall from higher platforms, leading to serious injuries. Options B, C, and D all exceed the recommended maximum height and would not be safe for preschoolers. It is important to keep in mind the physical abilities and limitations of the intended users when designing playground equipment.
