I know you are wondering if that is possible to construct within a shopping mall. well it is in China.The Printemps shopping mall in Shanghai has unveiled a giant slide tube
that takes customers from the fifth floor to the ground - a distance
of 200ft - in just 16 seconds. The so-called "Dragon Slide" is not without its concerns - it sends
people down at such a rate that they are being advised to cross their
arms to save themselves from potential injury. Thrill seekers are also
wrapped up in bags to avoid scrapes and bruises.
The slide is free to use but at the moment, only for VIPs.
One of the lucky few who has been down it has sounded a note of caution.
The unnamed male shopper said : "I was really scared, because during those bends my hands felt numb. And then I came down; and more than that, I was scared, so how would children feel?"
Singapore's Changi Airport is said to be the inspiration for the feature, boasting its own 12.9-metre tall slide.
The airport boasts other fun features including an enchanted garden, nature trail and rooftop swimming pool.
