tornado slide

Twisting playground chute

A tornado slide is playground equipment combining a slide with a spiral descent, wrapping around a central pole like a corkscrew.

Children spin as they descend, mimicking a tornado's rotation.

The term also applies to a baseball sliding technique where the runner spins to avoid a tag: He pulled off a tornado slide into second base.
