The first thing that came to my mind was "Someone's going to get seriously effing hurt"

Maybe not in the video, but given enough time... I promise you, it would have happened. Some of those landings looked like they should have done some damage.


But still, there's no denying the badassery there.

How did they calculate the distance for the kiddie pool?

My cousin Ron (the one that missed the pool at the end of the video and designer) suffered a serious concussion.

As he travelled down on one run his leg grabbed the safety rail and slowed him in a way that he did a full-on headplant.

That aside, one of his neighbor's died right about the same time taking on a concussion that led to unknown hemmoraging.

See the guy with the broken arm? Well.... :p

That's a funny part of it, but he didn't do it on the slide.

That is damn sweet, but there's no way in hell I would get on that thing. I was thinking it was going to be more like them laying sheets of plastic down on a hill and going down it that way. When I was at camp years ago they had one of those and it was a blast, this is more of a large water slide.
