Embodiment Construction

[0006] Embodiments of the present invention provide a slide assembly comprising: an inflated structure defining a tunnel, a climb section and a slide section, and a slide mat passing through the tunnel. The slide mat may be detached from the inflated structure or the slide mat may be integrally secured to the inflated structure. The slide assembly additionally comprises a means for dispersing water (e.g., a hose assembly) onto the slide mat.

[0007] Embodiments of the present invention also provide a method for assembling an inflatable slide. The method comprises providing a deflated slide assembly, engaging a blower to an opening in the deflated slide assembly, activating the blower for inflating the deflated slide assembly into an inflated structure defining a tunnel, a climb section and a slide section, and disposing a slide mat through the tunnel. The method additionally comprises connecting a water hose to a tubing assembly supported by the inflated structure, and introducing wa...
