I believe that the pressure that is exerted when a ladder is used in 8 feet of length would cause no damage to the trim on the slide. I lay the 2x4 flat on a table and then add the "rungs", also flat. The slide trim has the greatest strength at the top of the slide.
I always adhere the engineered wood to OSB, plywood, or composite floors. Never an issue. Urethane adhesive, laquere thinner, and white rags -plus the proper trowel. Butter the back of the boards after you dry fit them- less mess.
