arf!
i feel we may be at cross purposes, due to my description. "death slide" was simply a nickname for the slide i went on, which was basically a normal metal slide, except for the height and verticality. what is these days called a death slide and, i believe, what you're referring to, is a zip-line affair with a button seat. i did go arse-over off one of those last year, whilst camping and pissed at 1 a.m. it was most amusing :)
