1.1This practice covers the acquisition of quantitative data related to the dynamic characteristics of water slides when taken with instrumented humans.

1.2Prior to the use of this practice, the designer/engineer shall have completed and approved the testing of a new slide such that it is reasonably expected to meet the performance requirements, including accelerations, of Practice F2376-21 and ensure the slide is safe for human testing.

1.3This practice shall not apply to:

1.3.1Any other amusement rides or devices, other than water slides and water slide systems as classified by Practice F2376-21.

1.3.2Non-human accelerometer testing on water slides or water slide systems as defined by Practice F2376-21.

1.4Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. Other units of measurement are included in this standard for information only and are not considered standard.

1.5This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.6This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
