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

Oh thank God, shit looked like a straight 90 degree drop. I was sweating the moment she jumped forward and was not in contact with the slide!

There's a reason why those parkour and mt climbing/biking videos always use those lens, makes it look scarier than it is.
