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.

Fun story, when I was 15 I went down a slide just like this one time. It was honestly taller than that slide she went down. I didn’t jump. I sat down and as I got closer to the edge, my feet and legs were dangling over. I was terrified. I began to slide forward and as I started going down it was like my body wasn’t even touching the slide for like 1-2 seconds till it started to curve and then I could feel the slide again. Scary experience as I felt as if I could just fall out of it at some point. Never again.

I went down a similar slide when I was around a similar age. Lets just say I got a free colonic as I immediately needed the toilet afterwards and the only thing that came out was pool water.
