The big yellow slide at Jungle Java Ann Arbor is *huge* and so fast that there is a cushioning mat *on the wall* where it dumps out, about 7 feet away from the lip of the actual slide. I have only narrowly avoided either bowling kids over or being thrown almost to that wall, and I have been on it twice now. I somehow managed to land on my feet both times. I suppose I must have had a rather surprised look on my face that last go, because two other parents who were near the bottom of the slide and I exchanged looks after I landed and then they burst out laughing.
