The manufacturer recommends a minimum height of 48 inches.  Participation of riders below that height is not recommended.  Our slides drop into a 3-foot splash pool and a user weight limit of 175 pounds is recommended due to the increase in speed with weight, and the accompanying increase of risk of injury.  Participation of riders above that weight limit is not recommended.
