The slide for life is an obstacle that has recruits climb to the top of a 25-foot tower and climb across a descending 90-foot cable to the ground above a 4-foot deep pool. Halfway between the climb down, recruits are instructed to hang and then change posistions. If the recruit lets go, they'll fall to the water below.
