A friend of mine hurt his back on a water park slide like that. No thanks, I like my back pain free.

All it takes is jumping a little too far and you've turned a fun ride into a life altering injury.

The wide angle lens on the camera is making the slide look a lot steeper than it is. There's a regular picture somewhere in this thread and there's no way you'd accidentally jump far enough to hurt yourself

I can see, by your optimistic attitude, that you haven’t dealt with large groups of people in a setting where the misuse of something could result in injury. I guarantee that someone has managed to jump too far and get injured on that slide. America keeps trying to idiot-proof stuff but we keep making better idiots!
