A helter skelter at the Royal Norfolk Show, near Easton, Norfolk, England
A helter skelter is an amusement ride with a slide built in a spiral around a high tower. Users climb up inside the tower and slide down the outside, usually on a mat or hessian (burlap) sack. Typically, the ride will be of wooden construction and, in the case of fairground versions, designed to be disassembled to facilitate transportation between sites. The term is primarily used in the United Kingdom.

History
The term "helter-skelter" was first recorded in the United Kingdom at Hull Fair in October 1905, taking its name from the much older adverb meaning "in confused, disorderly haste". Other recorded names for the slide include: Canadian slide, alpine glide, lighthouse slip, slipping the slip, and glacier slip.[1]
In popular culture
The ride inspired the Beatles song of the same name.
This ride appears in the PC games RollerCoaster Tycoon and RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 renamed the Spiral Slide. There is also a snake Helter-Skelter in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
