Has anyone wrapped their prosthetic leg in order to ride the aqueduck?

[TigerLaw]

So reading over the disabilities information on the cruise line website, it talks about having to wrap up your prosthetic leg in order to ride the aquaduck water slide i was just curious if anyone had any insights into what this all entails, and any experience in what they will and will not accept for this (or just their prosthetic leg slash cruise line experiences overall)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Admittedly I don't have any first-hand experience. I think the rule is to prevent any rough edges from catching or scratching to prevent injury to the individual or damage to the attraction. This is what I found in the DCL Disabilities Guide:

AQUADUCK AND MICKEY’S SLIDE
Accessible by stairs only. Please check signage for height requirements and additional information.
Prosthetics devices may be permitted provided they do not interfere with the attraction ride requirements. Any Guest using a prosthesis with exposed metal, sharp edges, or non-skid materials must cover the prosthesis before riding. Prosthesis coverings must fully cover exposed edges without the possibility of slipping off. Coverings must be made of a smooth cloth material with no gripping qualities and must be durable enough to prevent the prosthesis from protruding through.
Riders are required to meet all posted ride requirements.

Smooth but durable. I first thought of the fabric that scuba suits are made out of but I think that’s “grippy”? How about canvas? Maybe fashion something out of a canvas duffel bag? Could you wear jeans?

Maybe something like this?

Seems like DCL is worried about something sharp? Can your leg get wet? That DryPro looks much better than my idea! I didn’t know something like that existed. Good find.
