Most waterslides allow you to go at high speeds, but I’m curious how they prevent people from falling off even when the wall of slide doesn’t really go high up to catch people? Of course, there are people with different masses and heights, and also different clothes, so how do they calculate the necessary measurements such as water pressure, friction or slide length to keep people from falling off open water slides?

The simple answer is Engineering. They calculate what will happen for a range of heights and weights and model it mathematically long before a single piece is fabricated.
This is also why there are height and weight limits for water slides and they instruct you to adopt a certain position. If you don’t fall within the safe parameters, you don’t get on. If you aren’t following safety guidelines if you have an accident, they are less liable.
