1. A water slide for connection to a supply of water under pressure, the water slide comprising:
- a substantially planar sliding surface, the sliding surface having a first end and an opposing second end;
an inflatable wedge-shaped ramp coupled to the first end of the sliding surface, the ramp having a top surface;
a landing portion coupled to the second end of the sliding surface; and
a water emitting device coupled to the sliding surface, the water emitting device being spaced apart from and positioned downstream of the ramp, the water emitting device being adapted to project water onto the ramp to lubricate the top surface while a user slides thereon.

Abstract
A water slide for connection to a water supply is provided. The inflatable structure may include a sliding surface having a first end and an opposing second end, an inflatable wedge-shaped ramp coupled to the first end of the sliding surface, where the ramp includes a top surface, and a landing portion coupled to the second end of the sliding surface. A water emitting device is coupled to the sliding surface, where the water emitting device is adapted to project water onto the ramp to lubricate the top surface while a user slides thereon.

12. An inflatable wedge-shaped structure for attachment to a water slide, the structure comprising:
-
a bottom surface supported by a supporting surface; a top surface spaced apart from the bottom surface, the top surface being downwardly sloped along which a user can slide from a top end to a bottom end thereof; a back wall, the back wall being coupled between the bottom surface and the top surface; a U-shaped cut-out portion formed at an end oppose the back wall, the cut-out defining a trough for collecting water-runoff from the top surface; and a water source remote from and positioned downstream of the inflatable structure for projecting water onto the top end of the top surface, wherein the water flows from the top end down to the bottom end of the top surface to lubricate the top surface while a user slides thereon. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
