Pool Slides?

[blue_steel]

My insurance co. only cared if I had a dive, not a slide.
My children, age 5 & 7 love the slide. So do most of the kids that come over to swim. Mine is an Aqua Slide-N-Dive from Houston, TX. Originally installed in 1976. I have since replaced the legs with much thicker aluminum tubing ($46.00) and painted it the original blue color with automotive paint ($44.00). For $90 it is more stable and faster than when it was new. My parents paid $550, but I think a new one is over $1,200 mail order and $1,600 from my local pool ripoff supplier.
Good luck.

I have a good friend who had a pool with a slide, and loved it ---- but then a young relative fell off and was permanently injured. The youngster's parents were convinced by a lawyer to sue. Things went down hill from there --- both financially and family. HE LOST EVERYTHING because the insurance didn't cover the claim.

I would recommend you ask your Insurance agent and a civil suit lawyer and then decide.

I carry a half million extra insurance for pool liability and don't have a slide.
