010-6 Wyo. Code R. §§ 6-10 - Flume Exits

(a) The exit of any flume must be designed to ensure that bathers enter the splash pool or slide runout at a safe speed and angle of entry.

(b) If a pool has two (2) or more flumes and there is a point of intersection between the centerlines of any two flumes:

(i) The distance between that point and the point of exit for each intersecting flume must not be less than twenty (20) feet; or

(ii) Less than thirty (30) feet if any user exits a flume at high speed.

(c) If users exit the flume into a splash pool, the flume must be:

(i) Horizontal;

(ii) Perpendicular to the wall of the pool at the point of exit;

(iii) Designed with an exit system which provides for safe entry into the splash pool or flume runout; and

(iv) Designed with an exit grade which, for the last ten (10) feet, does not exceed ten (10) percent.

(d) The flume exit must be flush with the vertical wall of the pool at the point of exit and not more than two (2) inches above, nor less than six (6) inches below, the normal operating level of the pool.

(e) The distance between the side wall of the pool and that portion of the flume exit nearest the wall:

(i) Must not be less than five (5) feet at the point of exit.

(A) The centerline of the flume and the centerline of any adjacent flume must not be less than six (6) feet at the point of exit; and

(B) The point of exit and the side of the pool opposite the bathers as they exit, excluding any steps, must not be:

(I) Less than twenty (20) feet, if the flume ends above or below the normal operating water level of the pool; or

(II) Less than thirty (30) feet if the flume ends at the normal operating water level of the pool.
