A student slides down a slide at recess. After getting off the slide he goes to cross the monkey bars. As he touches the metal of the monkey bars, he gets a shock. How did the electric charge transfer from the slide to his body?

He created static electricity by going down the slide, which was kept in his body and then transferred onto the conductive surface of the monkey bars
