A photo is captioned "A Rackspace employee alleges her then-19-month-old son fractured his left tibia after his foot got caught on the inside of the slide while riding it on March 1, 2013."
Even a slide that looks twisty, fast and adventerous must have something wrong with it if your foot can get caught on the way down. Properly manufactured slides don't have things you can catch your foot on going down.
Visual inspection from the outside won't reveal that. It looks like something a reasonable person will assume is a properly manufactured slide, and make their personal safety assessment based on how twisty and steep it looks.
Perhaps "we know some people catch their foot on something on the way down which you can't see just by looking from the outside, and someone broke their leg because of it, so use at your own risk but be warned of this non-obvious risk" would be more appropriate?
