Slight physics problem: What happens to the energy when a person descends
500 meters in such a slide? I don't like the picture that is forming in my
mind: frequent arrivals of people with 3rd degree friction burns....
-- You can't dump the energy into the people (they would get too hot).
-- You can't dump the energy into the slide (it would get too hot).
-- You can't make the slide conduct heat to the outside, since part of
its job is to carry people past a region of flames.....
