They can't fly but they can use their wings to glide, it's just that if you drop them out of a plane quite often they'll go "Uh .... what .... ???" and forget to extend their wings

There's a festival in the US somewhere where they used to drop turkeys out of planes, which is how we know

E: Yellville, Arkansas

E: even if they try to slow their fall they can only flap their wings for a very short period before they get too exhausted

Exploration is ill-advised.
From my understanding of physics and extensive experience being irresponsible on playgrounds, I think the thing to understand with the slides is more related to that A: an object in motion tends to stay in motion, and then the Square-Cube Law, and 3: the design and shape of the slide as well as its size and slope.

As is pretty easy to observe, a small amount of energy goes a long way with smaller and lighter objects, and smaller creatures are less susceptible to gravity's harsh laws. As the old story goes- you drop a spider down two stories and it'll hardly notice, a mouse might walk away, a horse will break all its legs and an elephant will splash. Kids can get tossed around relatively easy but tend to suffer less injuries from it than an adult who's thrown around with equivalent force.

That and the slide isn't a typical one, it's built into the smoothed cement. It's going to be a much faster drop than a plastic or metal slide because I imagine it has a lot less friction with the smooth, singular material, and doesn't have as much of a drop at the end as a free-standing slide will that allows someone to in theory land on their feet. And on top of that, the slope may seem gentle but the above factors mean you're going to take the ending a lot faster than a regular slide, and you see why massively oversized slides and water slides tend to have very long and gradual stopping slopes to slow you down before the end... which that concrete slide really doesn't have.

So an adult is going to hit the bottom much faster than they expect to, likely an experience they're not at all prepared for, especially from a deceptively humble looking attraction, and still have their momentum going when they reach the bottom causing them to flip over and land face-first in the woodchips, much to the amusement of onlookers.

Ah but you see the velocity of the science when it meets the ratio of the resistance is q to the power of 9. It's very important to let everyone know I'm very smart in the funny pictures thread of all places you see.

Wait, hold on. That can't be right - everything falls at the same speed, regardless of how heavy it is. Acceleration due to gravity is constant.

Catching up, more pages to read but
Force= mass x acceleration.
Acceleration due to gravity would be the same across all bodies going down the slide but the mass of an adult is significantly higher than a child and the force of landing will be proportionally higher equaling adults faceplanting and joy in observers

Lol buddy maybe don't randomly attack another poster for inadequately fresh covid/star trek memes and then counter with a "cats are mean" photo.

Wow holy poo poo cats are jerks sometimes! That's so fresh. Did you come up with that yourself? That cats are jerks? Holy poo poo I've never heard of someone making that joke before lmao incredible.. That's so current and new omg lol do you have a book I can buy about how to make the newest hottest memes? Thank you so much for your service brave warrior

Yes that was the joke I tee'd myself up for. I knew I was being an rear end in a top hat-- I said as much-- and set myself up to get blasted. You can pretend that was the "lol I'm not owned" or I'm being retarded on purpose" or whatever tired meme from five years ago, but that is what I did and y'all are even dumber than I thought if you're being sincere and thought that was an actual own.
