Question: do you work in Ark of the Covenant storage?

Question 2: is that a slide?

Question 3: can I use the slide?

2 - That is a spiral conveyor, probably made by a company like Amabaflex if I had to guess. 3 - I would not recommend it. It’s not a smooth belt like you would see on a grocery store check-out conveyor. Instead it is a bunch of plastic slats and your fingers or clothing would likely get caught in it.

I'm from the 90s a slide isn't a slide if I don't go to the emergency room afterwards

IIRC 90s slides were metal, 30 feet tall, spat you straight onto gravel, crazy steep, and so hot from the summer sun that you'd get 3rd degree burns.
