A 46 inch tall child not passed the 25:10 test but able to exit the drop area without assistance is allowed to ride the slides.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not allowed
• D. Only with supervision

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that safety criteria for riding slides focus on whether a rider can exit the drop area safely on their own. Passing the 25:10 test is one check, but it isn’t the only requirement. If a child can leave the drop area unaided, they meet the essential safety condition to ride. So, even though the 25:10 test wasn’t passed, being able to exit the drop zone without help shows they can clear the hazard and ride the slide. Supervisors should still ensure the exit path is clear and be ready to assist if needed, but unaided exit is the deciding factor here.
