My elementary school "Hillside" was built in a hill. You could walk in on the top floor, and then walk out to the playground on the bottom floor. Right next to the entrance, was a perfect sliding hill, from top floor to bottom floor, about 20 ft of vertical, but about 30 degree angle. It made a perfect winter slide. We used lunch boxes, plastic trays, what ever we could. No one said a thing. If a kid got hurt, take 'em to the nurse's office, fortunately very close by.
I fell off the horizontal bars and knocked myself out (I know, explains a lot). Did my parent sue? no. Did they pull the bars out of the ground? Not because of me. Kids play, and kids get hurt. And then they will be more careful next time.
