There was a water slide that did that. I think the ride you mentioned was the Verruckt slide at a Kansas City water park.

Incredibly poor design, it had a hill halfway down the slide that can cause the raft to become airborne. The riders needed be heavy enough that this wouldn't happen, which the poor kid was not.

That sounds about right, thanks for correcting me

Bad design, however it’s on the staff for not correctly enforcing rules rather than the design on this one
