Leaving aside Cotty's sick humor (or in Cotty's case sic humour) ... the common name for the device in the U.S. is "slide".

The word "slide" thus is both a noun to name the device and a verb to describe what is done on it.

More formally it is a "playground slide".

Cotty, the key of the sliding device is infinite repeatability of
sliding experience. What you're offering is fundamentally different.

P.S. It also explains why your son is doing whatever he is doing with
that viking helmet...
