Background:

Water slides are increasingly designed with greater length and more adventurous features.
Recreational water activities are popular globally, with water slides being a common attraction.

Observation:

A case report and survey were conducted to investigate potential risks associated with modern water slides.
The study focused on the physical forces and interactions experienced by users during slide descents.

Findings:

A notable risk of friction burns was identified as a potential injury from water slides.
The increased length and adventurous design may contribute to higher friction forces on the skin.

Implications:

Awareness of friction burn risks associated with water slides is important for user safety.
Further research may inform slide design and safety guidelines to mitigate skin injuries.
