What action should slide riders take when using the stairs?

When using the stairs, it is essential for slide riders to walk up in single file. This approach minimizes the risk of accidents and ensures a safer environment for everyone involved. Walking in single file prevents crowding on the stairs, which can lead to slips or falls. It allows individuals to maintain a steady and manageable pace, reducing the chance of collisions or pushing, which can occur if riders were to run or skip steps.

Using the stairs safely is crucial, especially in recreational areas where many people may be in a hurry or distracted. Adopting this practice encourages orderly behavior and allows lifeguards to maintain a better line of sight for monitoring safety on the stairs. Ultimately, maintaining a single file line promotes safety and helps everyone enjoy their experience without unnecessary risks.
