ABSTRACT:
An aquatic toboggan slide has a trough like chute with side walls and a bed of closely spaced rollers, the toboggans discharging horizontally from the chute about 12-20 inches above a body of water so as to skip or plane over the water surface. The toboggans are of moulded plastic with a planing bottom surface and resilient seats spaced from the bottom surface to protect the user's spine against water impact shocks. The toboggans may be double walled and foam filled or single walled with transverse ribs in the bottom surface to stiffen the structure and enhance planing.
