Longest slide in Spain closed after reports of injuries

A 38m slide linking two streets in Estepona has been closed – a day after it opened for the first time.

Residents reported suffering injuries while riding the steel chute on the Costa del Sol town, which was designed to save people from a 10-minute walk.

Videos posted on social media showed people hurtling down the slide and flying off at the end.

However, despite the closure, the local ayuntamiento have said that the slide was safe, and that over a thousand people had used it safely on it’s first day.
