2 things to take away from the video

If your slip-n-slide doesn't have a ramp, you will not reach the end (probably not even halfway)

If your slip-n-slide does have a ramp, you will fly waaaaay too fast and miss the target no matter what

Well... That was fun.

Seriously. It put a smile on my face, Subby.

Man the ol' Slip and Slide was some of the most fun I've ever had. We'd always have a blast until someone ended up crying.

The sheer number of fatties on this gives me pause. Slip and Splat and Sploosh and Flop and Squish and Blarrrgh...

at :54. man or woman? discuss.

Quick reference guide to the lulz:
1. See a fatty? That fatty will fall quickly on dey ayess or possibly face
2. See someone succeeding? They will fly off the ramp and crash

Now that girl in the rope-tow one... what is she wearing? I'm not seeing a bottom to that suit and yeah I've checked a few times.

When that vid hit the nets a while back there were enough takes on it to see that her bottom wound up around her knees and her top around her waist.

On further review (times a brazilian) I concur with your findings. Girl got pantsed. Good thing her helmet was on tight, so that she was completely lucid and aware of flashing everyone in attendance.

WOOHOO! Internet!

We'll go ahead and call this NSFW

Is that mom on the wet banana?

Do not set up your slip & slide on concrete, asphalt or cobblestones.

Hmm...gives me an idea for a shiatty movie. The Slip & Snuff. The Slip & Slide that kills people.

Pffft! Mythbusters FTW.

She flies through the air, underpants by her knees,
That daring young girl on the flying trapeze.
Her movements were graceful, her girls were released,
And the crowd could all see she had shaved.

Funny how the fatties just walk up and lay their bulks down like they expect gravity to zoom them off at mach 1, but yet, they just go splat.

//yes i said it
///slashy attack.

Diagonal: Pffft! Mythbusters FTW.

Those things sketch me out. I've heard about too many people breaking their necks on those.

My cousin broke her collarbone on ours when we were kids. Avoided them after that.

Oh boy. I cringed all the way through that.

Slip & Slide looked and sounded like an awesome idea as a kid, but the harsh reality was you were just throwing yourself onto the hard hard ground and that impact sucked, plus, swimsuit tops had a tendency to not stay where they were supposed to, resulting in bruises and total humiliation...

Yeah, and girls who thought it would be safe to slide on one sitting down or feet first would often wind up with their suit jammed up their front crack.

Ha! Yep. That happened.

People are dumb. For the ramps, it's simple physics people, not that hard to position it right. For the "run and jump on a surf board standing up" crap? Really? You're either going to make it, or more than likely going to fall BACKWARDS. You're arms can't catch you fall like that, which means the back of you're head is going to slam into the ground. The reward does not outway the risk.

I didn't break my neck, but I did get 15 stitches from one - broken glass underneath.

The headline seemed to promise something else.

That was worse than America's Funniest Home Videos.
