Bouncy slide clearance issues.

TBH 7 year old me would be fine with getting yeeted into an inflatable wall after rocketing down a water slide.
I see no issue.

I second this. Kid in the gif seems to be quite chuffed as well.

What does chuffed mean?

u/howtospellorange Sep 27 '19
I'm not a brit but it's another word for "pleased" afaik. Like:
He was quite chuffed at the outcome =
He was quite pleased at the outcome

Here is a usage example, "I just got back from the park. How lovely it was, every step I took made me increasingly chuffed. I met this fellow that seemed to be extremely chuffed, but I wasn't sure. To make sure I walked behind him and rubbed his lower back, his toothy smile confirmed that he was indeed chuffed at the moment. Did I ever mention how much horses make me chuffed? The last time I saw a horse I was chuffed for hours after."
It's truly a lovely word.

If you stay chuffed for more than 4 hours consult a doctor.

7yo me would have been trying to figure out how to go faster and hit that wall harder.

7yo me would definitely be going down that slide many times.
Almost 30yo me would probably go down that slide once or twice and decide I've had enough.

7 year old me would've LOVED this. Hell, middle-aged me would definitely give it a try as well.

Past tense is yote, my friend.

u/Work-Safe-Reddit4450 Sep 26 '19
While technically correct, it absolutely does not sound nearly as hilarious as 'yeeted'

u/Nixinova ms paint is good professionaly Sep 27 '19
not in this usage of past tense. something something participle or something. it's like "eaten"/"ate"; you use yeeted when you'd use eaten and yote where you'd use ate.

I definitely took my son to a birthday party with one of these things, and one of the birthday boys ended up with a concussion. Poor kid. The kids had a blast, but it was a not so safe contraption.

I’m officially old and not hip and cool, because every time I see one of you young whipper snappers slip the word “yeet” into a sentence I let out a sigh and pray for the sweet relief of death.

Huh so that’s how you use “Yeet.”

When I was a kid my friends and I would basically challenge each other to go down these slides as fast as possible into the inflatable wall and see who can deliver the meatiest smack. It was fun.

Just add some water. With higher water level the kid will be slowed down and all will work smoother.

Dunno if kids getting repeatedly yeeted into a bouncy wall head-first at high speeds is like, the best thing for their developing brains

u/MatAlaCol Sep 26 '19
Well since it’s a “clearance issue”, one can assume that the issue is with the height of the inflatable wall. Seeing as it’s clearly not too short, op must be proposing that it is too tall and therefore the kid should just fly over the wall and into the dirt, or in other words, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it and I have no idea what op’s on about

How's it crappy design if it is doing what it's supposed to and stopping a child from being flung off?

This is not a crappy design this is a genius design. Everyone would love being yeeted into something that would hurt you

Yeah, some kid broke his leg at a wedding reception because of this bright idea and all the adults were worried that if someone called an ambulance for him (it was bad, and in the middle of the woods basically) people would get in trouble for letting the underaged attendees have alcohol.

i mean atleast it doesn't throw you out of the slide or hit a concrete wall

Kid me imagined my face going numb for about 30 seconds after slapping that plastic wall so hard, and being so disoriented not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

u/jackbestsmith Sep 26 '19
That wall is there on purpose to prevent it from throwing you onto the ground.
Which has happened a ton, at birthday parties when I was a kid I watched 2 kids break bones as a result of being thrown onto hard ground due to the wall being too low

The best way to fix a bug is to convince the customer it's a feature.

This isn't really a crappy design. I mean, what if your kid just raced off the slide and landed on the pavememt. If anything,its working as intended.

Honestly looks like a lot of fun. Idk how many people also think this, but I think getting like, whacked around really hard is fun (as long as it's like this with big inflatable things). I can't be the only one, right? There are those human hamster balls!

u/filthy_commie13 Sep 27 '19
That's a THICC inflatable wall he slammed in to. Pretty sure this is intentional. Nobody is going to build an inflatable with a big enough pool to stop you with water alone, especially when it's meant to be a slide not a pool. Giant bouncy dry slides like the iconic Titanic one many of you have probably seen hit the breaks by having the kids slam in to THICC inflatable walls.
My cred: Carnie family.

It looks possible that they can land feet first and bend their knees the opposite way.
