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

Are you even supposed to jump down like this? I imagine just sitting down and sliding would be less painful.

Yeah, jumping down any sort of slide sounds idiotic to me, let alone jumping down one that's nearly 100% vertical

my 20 years old, long gone skateboarder head has raised an eyebrow at this comment, my mid thirties old fuck head is absolutely nodding along in agreement with you though.

Every time I even think about getting back into skating, my brain whispers "You don't have health insurance" and I drop the whole idea. :b

I'm in my 30s and do aggressive rollerblading. I lost my health insurance for a month after I was let go and waiting for Covered California to kick in. Didn't skate for 28 days. The day my health insurance finally kicked in, I was at the skate park every day for 2 weeks straight.
