chutes
Inclined delivery passages
Chutes are steep channels or slides through which things descend—water, coal, laundry, or people at a playground.
A parachute is a chute that slows descent through air.
The word appears in Chutes and Ladders, the children's board game where players climb ladders but slide back down chutes.
A cattle chute is a narrow passage for directing livestock.
